If my life was a poem
it would say
the complications in life
can at times be overwhelming
and though i seem happy
i feel like I'm suffering
my heart is burning like fire
with passion and desire
for all things real
and my life it would steal
with a brush of the wind
and i cry cause i fear everything
I've even become afraid of me
and thoughts and memories of hurting
feeling like I'm bound to fall
death being the only thing to
free me once and for all
but i guess it's not my time
to be freed
still i know one day
it will come for me
but for now
my mind is shut
and lost is the trust
i once had
i never knew i could
feel so sad
and as for getting lost
that was my bad
but i wish i could go back
to a brighter day
where i wouldn't have to hide
the feelings trapped inside
where i could really live my life
which is being restrained
and i feel so limited
but i know one day
my freedom will be limitless
and i will be free
all the joy that comes to me
at the thought of being able to breathe
through ups and downs
and joys and sorrows
and the voice that follows
me around
i can barely hear myself
because my thoughts have been
drowned out by others
and now facing reality
I've never been so scared
looking in the mirror
and not being able to tell
if it's really me
they'd see
that I've been through
a lot
and the emotions
i could show them
if only my life was a poem
but it's not
