The Life I Once Had

Poem

I look happy on the outside

But fighting myself inside

I seem so strong and seem to stand so tall

But hiding my inner self that wants to explode

If only you could see the scars that appears on me

I could scream but no one would hear

I'm not able to show the pain

A puzzle that doesn’t know how to be put together

Slowly fading away from the life I once had

Can’t breathe in my own skin

Taking pain with the pain I cause

The angry built up where the release over comes me

Unable to keep myself from going deeper

Just watching myself bleed

I could scream but no one would hear

I'm not able to show the pain

A puzzle that doesn’t know how to be put together

Slowly fading away from the life I once had

Bring myself to tears

Can’t stand the way I feel

Hoping it will get better

But my life is always turned upside down

I could scream but no one would hear

I'm not able to show the pain

A puzzle that doesn’t know how to be put together

Slowly fading away from the life I once had
