Sometimes

sometimes
I don't understand
how they don't understand
why I am the way I am
sorry if it wasn't you
that went through
what I had to go through
but sometimes
I try my best to ignore feelings
too scared to speak the truth
thinking
if people knew
they would only turn away
never hearing my
silent screams

somedays I feel tattered
conjuring up poetry
from old torn up letters
thinking
if I could make it through the day
maybe I'll be ok
just maybe
i'll learn to fight this pain

I lost it all
is how I feel sometimes
anyone who cares for me
eventually disappears
so I return back to that boy
the one broken from a broken home
spending days lonely
hoping for away
trying to get out of this sinking hole
of constant self pity

sometimes I'm told
everyone has problems
I should learn to move forward
but sometimes I think
what the fuck would they know?
do they live my life?
they don't cry my tears
I'm always judged, never loved
not ever feeling good enough
I'm the one who deals with that
even if it's not always true
I have to reach
grabbing for a reason to stay
on those days

sometimes I spend my nights lonely
reciting words
from old broken poetry
thinking
if I could make it through the day
maybe I'll be ok
just maybe
i'll learn to accept this pain
