I seem sweet
I seem innocent
But only at first
Only at first
Then, people get close
And they learn about me
And they see my trauma
They see my pain
Oh, how they try to help
But they just can't
Mine is not a pain
That can ever be healed
Once they figure that out
They want to escape
Escape from my friendship
Escape from my life
As they leave me alone
I beg them to stay
Knowing too well they won't
Even if my heart needs them
People, friends, come
And quickly leave
My sad life all the time
Just like a candle going out
After reading this
You'll want to fix me too
Please don't try
I'll just loose you too
You're thinking
No I'll stay
I won't give up on you
But I know you're wrong
My pain comes from everywhere
My pain comes from nowhere
My pain grow and grows
My pain is a disease
That's why people leave
My pain spreads like
The most contagious virus
It infects all who get close to me
What causes my pain
You must be wondering
I wish I knew
I want to know just like you
Sometimes, I make up reasons
But usually I don't care
It comes and goes
In unending waves
Sometimes the pain
Mixes with the comfort
That confuses me greatly
It makes me hate both.
Make the pain go away
I can't take it
Why must it be
Me who has to hurt
Did I do something wrong
Do I deserve this
I don't know
Maybe I'm being punished
This poem is from the heart
Everything I say
Is coming out how it feels
To me and only me
So I plead of you
Get close to me
Help the pain
That is all I ask
Is it too much to ask for
A chance to kill this pain
Even if you risk your happiness
Is my well being worth that much?
