Things I'll Never Say
The things I'll never say are sometimes
rude, fragile, and fray.
Although they are the things I want express
I don't want to have to clean up the mess.
So here are some things I want to tell you,
hopefully, just hopefully, I won't lose my personal values.
I'm weak, scared, and numb.
Yet those around haven't realized I've stopped
marching to the beat of my own drum.
The drum that I loved no longer makes a sound,
and I just want someone to return the rythym found.
It was a warm spring evening
that made me break and consider leaving.
The house shattered me to bits,
with the constant screaming fits.
I couldn't handle this,
but I was told to hold on to this.
You said it was only for a few months more,
but I was still trapped storm after storm.
The storm raged on, turning into a hurricane,
while I huddled in the corner hoping my savior saw and came.
He came and pulled me out,
it was like rain after a drought.
But after awhile the water runs dry,
telling me it was I who poisoned it and I'm left in the sun to fry.
I tried to persevere,
but I was over come by fear.
I went back to the storm,
odly this time it kept me warm.
The storm was the only thing I was use to,
a never ending cycle of me vs you.
But it was you who broke my drum,
the reason I lost the beat.
The reason I have two left feet,
instead of marching left, right, left, right,
into this fight called life.
I want my rythym back,
before my soul turns completely black.
