Rage

Rage

A Poem by Jessica Lynn Polley

I am falling 
I am broken 
You say you love whats inside, 
But inside I am frozen... 
I don't know what it is. 
and I do not quite know how to say 
That all I really want 
is to push you away. 
I am not like other people 
I do not talk through my pain 
I write it all out 
just surrender to the page. 
You can not be the pen 
that I trust with all of my thoughts 
You can not be the paper 
it would tear you apart
I am not like other people 
I bleed in a somber silence 
I do not share my thoughts 
that are riddled with hate and violence. 
I do not trust myself 
enough to trust anyone else 
You say you want to know me 
But I do not even know myself. 
I can not be your solid structure 
my walls crumble to the wind 
I can not be your shoulder 
when all my bones are begging to give in 
I am not strong enough to fix you 
you see through half open eyes. 
I am not strong enough to love you 
no matter how hard I try. 
I hate the way I am 
and I hate what you make me do 
I will not look that deep inside of myself 
not even for you. 
You do not know what you are asking for 
When you tell me to let it out 
I fight wars inside of my head 
I wage battles from thought to mouth 
I try not say the things 
that I know will break you 
But my tongue is my enemy 
and all you want is some kind of breakthrough 
There no epiphany here 
the is no middle ground 
you are asking me to fix myself 
and I don't know how 
Don't you think that I have tried 
millions and millions of times 
To not be the monster 
that resides behind my eyes 
Not one thing is sacred to this monster 
not one soul is loved 
A part of me hates everything 
so damn much 
I am not the girl you say you love 
not without changing every single thing 
I am not the girl you want 
there is nothing good that I could bring 
I will always hurt you 
I will always be filled with something sick 
A part of me loves 
but that part is dying quick 
You can not save her you know 
your holding on to a fading peace of me 
If you would just stop to look for a second 
you would see that your hands are empty! 
I know you do not deserve this 
but I tried to warn your from the start 
that this cold callus thing inside of me 
barely even passes for a heart.

"the is no middle ground" should be "there is no middle ground"
Love how raw and powerful this is. Really caught my attention.
