I'm dead

I don’t think anyone should feel this dead inside

 

I mean, after all, it’s not exactly something you can hide

 

Or, better yet, it’s not something you can get rid of, per say

 

The feeling can surface on any given day

 

One day you’ll just feel like giving up all hope

 

Especially if there’s no one around to help you cope

 

You might just sit there with tears streaming down your face,

Like I did, wondering what you did wrong

 

Losing your mind, rocking back and forth to the broken beat

of your sad song

 

And then…you just might feel nothing, the presence

of emptiness settling in

 

You’ll forget the old you, how you used to be, how

happy you’ve been…

So keep your chin up, kid, put on a big grin

 

Or you might just end up like me; confused in life,

Feeling like you’ll never win.

Yup. Tell me what you think.

I think you like me, have found a notch, a style, if you will, that suits us. Granted styles change but you write this well. You write about your feelings well, have you tried....thinking how others might feel? Or taking the feelings more extreme...or even applying them to other things. Just food for thought.

You are talented, you are depressing/dark. But that's okay. But if you are worried about it, write outside the box....doesnt have to be fairytales and happy endings...just somethign outside your comfort zone.

Always,

Matthew
