Falling in slow motion

A Poem by meganelizabeth23

six feet under water your drowning,

six feet under ground your digging,

trying to, but you just cant drown your sorrows,

you say you've tried everything,

but you just cant find a way to end it all,

to find a way to kill the light inside,

wake up every night screaming,

it was never meant to be this way,

to hide behind the scars, behind the tears,

scared of saying goodbye,

scared of losing everything you are,

scared that if you leave, you'll lose everything,

don't wanna wake up by yourself,

that's the real nightmare isn't it?

being alone? being lost? being untouched?

so you go on dates acting like a bachelor,

no one loves the life, its not one you choose,

being what everyone else wants,

feeling like your falling

it was never meant to be this way,
to hide behind the scars, behind the tears,
scared of saying goodbye,
scared of losing everything you are,

Such powerful words, full of raw emotion that resonate deeply, as I've lived much of my life hiding behind a mask, never letting people see the real me. You cannot be someone everyone else wants, that will never bring you a real sense of happiness. Be YOU, stand up and show the world the REAL you. I cannot wait for that moment .....
