Loose Thoughts

Sometimes my head feels like splitting apart
All these little thoughts exist to poison my mind
I hate that I feel envious, I hate that I feel alone
but I'm certain the cure lies somewhere out of my reach

I can't be considered complete until I begin to
shatter all the stupid faults that live within me
Why can't I be everything I want to be?
I'm still inadequate against everyone else

I don't want anyone to pretend they understand
I'll recognize the same pain within another
from the frozen scream lingering within their eyes

Sometimes I feel like leaving this f*****g place
but then, I'd be subject to a guilt trip like no other
I'm not 'depressed'; that's the cliche of the wanton
I just feel the same pain as everyone else

Nice write. I like the last lines:
"I'm not 'depressed'; that's the cliche of the wanton
I just feel the same pain as everyone else"

Your mind can be a deadly place, I have struggled with what you write about in this poem and I still sometimes feel that way.

So sad but true. There will be others that can relate to this.

Loose thoughts expelled to show humility. This is a quirk piece with much meaning and showing ones innermost emotion. I enjoyed reading it. Write on.
