TO BE ME

Poem By: sam316547
Poetry


It's really...Personal. My tears upon paper...My heart among words.
Please again ask you to see as though it's not about me. Because I'm better....Really.

TO BE ME

There are things inside....That I try to hide.
Thoughts I want to wipe away.
There are times I want a blue sky
And all I get are clouds
I want to heal the wounds I bare
To just drift away without a care
If I could I would drip away into the ground......
Disappear, and never be found
It’s the pain I have, it’s the feelings I regret
And Yet there’s always something in the way

something that ruins my day
There are things I say, things I do
But you won’t listen will you?
I want to be missing
I don’t want to be seen
I want to run away and hide
I don’t need you by my side

Can’t I disappear...Can’t I stay invisible?
I don’t want your help!
I want to leave........
Can’t you see? This Is the real me.....
The one that is bare without the mask
The one that is weak......Lying here in her defeat.
Drain and cut, bled and dried. Now lying here waiting to die.
I am a shadow to someone else.
Just a burden they house.
A child without a cause....
I’m like a piece of clothe against the river
Bending, but never tearing
The water watching away the dust and dirt......
But never taking away the hurt
I’m just here.
And I don’t want to be
Please. Let go
I want to leave
I’m tired of crying......It’s worse than dying
To have your heart ripped out.
To feel the pressure
To feel the pain, and to bleed
Just to stain the white of my skin
Just to watch as the life I held
Withers away...Little by little.
Not just today...Everyday.
Do you realize what you do to me?
I’m not hurting myself.....
Your hurting me. 
 
There just words to you.
They mean nothing.
But you don’t understand
How hard it is just to stand
As you look, what do you see?
As i bleed how do you feel?
Don’t you care that your killing me?
I can’t live with you, it’s not worth it. I can’t live me.

I’ve took it long enough.
I can’t breathe...I can’t see!
I’m not me!

I will die...and you already know why.
Maybe this time the hurt you feel....Will be what I’ve lived with
All my Life.
If I leave then maybe you’ll see.....Just how it was to be me.

That's really good and so sad at the same time.Very depressing.I enjoyed some of the rhyming in this.You did very well.It's sad to be captivated with someone you want to break free from.Like being a slave.Great job Sam.Keep it up.

Thank you! I know...I didn't want it to be sad. I just can't really write 'Happy' poems. They don't flow well with me. Thank you so very much!

:) thank you!

this is awesomely written!...I love these certain lines:
Drain and cut, bled and dried. Now lying here waiting to die.
I am a shadow to someone else.
Just a burden they house.
A child without a cause...
I love the emotion and imagery you brought into this piece, and the music really adds well to it....now I like Evanescence (a lot) ;)

:) YAY! I'm really glad you do. Evanescence is my favorite band....At the moment. hehe. :)

hi! sam. although it must be extremely painful, u decided well to leave him. just like a gangrened leg has to be amputated, u've done something similar. for u r better off on ur own. not only'll u discover urself, he'll also realise ur worth. remember, this too shall pass and u'll come out a better and stronger person.

u've brought out the sorrow very well through these remorseful words. keep it up. lol. ;-)
