I try

what if i wanted to change?

change into somebody else?

what would i do?

what could i do...

 

i no longer know myself

im fed up with playing pretend

ill try

to find out who "myself" is

 

i no longer understand

when and why i let myself cry

tears of many things

regrets and lonliness

ill try

to hide them away

 

wounds inside and out

scars that have leave me with no doubt

i see blood flow

that ceasts to end

i try

to act as if there no longer real

 

with all these thoughts in my head

i try but have no reason why

i cant go on

but ill try to live life

and act as everything is alright

I felt like this once.. Well I still do now, and now that I'm reading this, it makes me remember... Life is difficult, and we all experience life's ups and downs. Sometimes, life just plays a trick on us and shoots us down. But with your poem, you showed that life can be difficult etc... Good write! :)

I really liked how you could tell that this wasn't just a spur of the moment thing that you've been thinking of for a while, like it's almost embedded into your mind. Beautiful.
