Going Through The Motions

Going through the motions

Slowly dying inside

Watching lovers smiling

Wishing it was me

Going through the motions

Tears in my eyes

Carrying on as normal

No-one knows it’s wrong

Going through the motions

No-one sees it’s changed

Maybe they don’t want to

It’s easier that way

Going through the motions

The right words to say

A smile when it is needed

The knife twisting deep inside

Going through the motions

Will this hurt ever end

I know the final answer but..

I’m going through the motions

Throughout the poem, i had this feeling that it was ME....
esp the lines -

Going through the motions
The right words to say
A smile when it is needed
The knife twisting deep inside

I feel the loneliness described and the pressure to hide....

SNOW,thanks for this timely poem...this strengthened me that we have to go on....yes we will....

This struck me as being very sad Snow because there are many people in the world who do just that - go through the motions - because it is somehow better than the alternative of being completely alone? Very nicely written.

hi! snow. when u r hurt, life becomes mechanical, so 'going through the motions'. and if u can come out of it (this being not ur final answer), u'll find a whole wide world out there waiting to embrace u. live life full size.

nevertheless, a good read. lol. ;-)
