through my mind
i see
eternity
an everlasting
death -
as i sit and stare
at my blank walls
and declare
that i can't go on
living this lie
that is called
me
i sit in these
shadows
of expectation
of who i
wish i could be
i am so afraid to be me
i will always
be on the outside
looking in....
no matter how
hard i try
to fit
i will always
be pushed
aside
swept away by
the tide
of this life
i live....
if you can call it that
i can't go on
like this forever
something HAS
to change
and I must do it
I am sick of
crying
and I am sick of
trying
to explain myself
to you...
When you made me
push
harder and harder
I felt like your
prostitute
i was called a strong female icon today
by some girl who barely knows my name,
let alone my character.
Little does she know that
I am weak and scared of the world
and life in general.
I so desperately want to be strong,
but I don't know how.
I used to be so head strong
and independent as a child... what happened to me?
If she only knew...
