Array ( [sid] => 171534 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => back and forth [time] => 2012-03-26 21:00:31 [hometext] => [bodytext] => looking in the mirror
but no one's there
physically i am
mentally im in a world of self hate
a world of longing to be held
by someone who actually cares
i stare
i stare back at my reflection
hoping to see a glimpse of life
cold angry eyes are all i see
I see through my desperate act
i see through the jokes I tell
humor is merely just a cover up
for the mess i call my brain
confused
who am i
what am i doing
why cant i be someone other than myself
i drink
i drink till the pain is gone
im numb
numb of emotions i have not learned to handle
i just want to be happy
Im a lair
a fake
to everyone around me im happy
when in reality
im just trying to glue all my pieces back together
im like a puzzle missing a piece
i will never be figured out
not by me
not by anyone
im nothing by a lost cause
trying to make it in what we call life
but where am i trying to go
the road im taking now is slicing me to the core
i stand beside myself
i watch the blood drain from my body
and finally... im free [comments] => 0 [counter] => 49 [topic] => 13 [informant] => toots343 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
