FILL THE ROOM

FILL THE ROOM

A Poem by laurakaipa
"

people around

"
Have you sat in a room
Filled with people
People that you know
People that you tell everything to 

But it does not feel like that
Have you ever felt when you look at these people
These people that think they know you
These people that think they have you figured out 

The people around 
The people that fill the room around
The people that are right in front of you 
But they feel like they are thousand of miles away

They tell you the same thing 
" It will get better"
"You will be okay"
"I am here for you"
"You can trust me"

Words 
The same words over and over again
The room gets bigger 
There are more people 

Have you seen how it works 
The people 
They fill the room
I let them fill the room 

I don't need all these people
But I can't let them go 
Why others ask 
Why I ask myself 
I didn't know before 

Now I do 
I need them
I need them to fill the room
The room I dont want to be alone in
The room where my demons are 
The room that my demons run wild 
The room that I see myself falling apart in

These people 
These people that think they know me
Did they know about this 
Did they know about the room they filling in for me
Did they know that this is where 
I kill myself every night 
I drown myself in my thoughts 

I need them 
I need these people 
I let them in this room 
You let them fill the room
