22/M/South Africa- / Vocabulary with a dash of depression
I feel like one of those guys in those movie scenes, you know those sad scenes? Those waiting at the train station, as people speed up around them. Now I stand here helpless as well, helpless to the continued march of time. Not waiting for a friend or loved one, just a little lost.

Stuck in time
I feel the itch, the need, this burning sensation. I need to write. My thoughts clutter my mind. My emotions grow distant. How do I tame these rough seas? I need to write. It's always been there. It's always brought me back. My way of escaping. I need to write. Why now? In an hour of need. I am hopelessly lost. My words have failed me.

Wordless
In my youth, my heart was full. I felt love, hate, anger and joy. Emotions were bursting from my seams. Now I am older. My heart is a void. I search for these long forgotten feelings. Hopelessly I search the darkest corners of my heart. Alas, it's all for nothing. I cannot feel. No matter how hard I try. I fear the monster I have become.

The MONSTER I am
Here I am, looking at this stranger in the mirror. I sigh a sigh of relief, i get to take my mask off after a long day. Under it lies another mask, And another, And another, And another. I sigh in frustration, as I try to remember. Remember who I really am. Remember which parts aren't fake.

Lose yourself.
It's ironic, This feeble heart of mine. It had it's sights set on a path, The path of solitude. How am I meant to tell it? "Get up and walk past this Unreciprocated love." When it has fallen so hard?

Unreciprocated
I put my words on paper To explain my tears. I pour my heart on paper To explain the sadness. But the day you asked me, "write me a poem". I had nothing. For when I look at you, My words are gone.

A Poem for You
You sparked something You started a fire You reignited my soul You; Are a light in the dark Are the warm summer sun Are peaceful Are. Amazing is your smile Amazing is your soul Amazing how you embody true beauty Amazing.

You are amazing
I live day to day People asking me "how are you?" "I'm fine" How do you look someone in the eyes And tell them That you're at the lowest you've ever been That you... Turn up the music To drown the noise The voices telling you to end it all To silence the sounds of your sobs as you cry yourself to sleep "I'm fine"

Please make it stop
I haven't written in a while I'm not sure if it's because I'm happy I'm sad Or I just feel nothing All I know is The random beating of the heart From happy to sad to nothing Remains a mystery Every day I wake up with The Pandora's box of feelings

Pandora's Box
I wonder I wonder if they knew Knew how they've hurt me Knew how they scarred me I wonder if they knew Just how much I hate them If they'd treat me differently Treat me like their son I wonder If they knew that they'll never see me again They'd treat me differently Treated me with love and compassion I just wonder if they know About the nights I cried myself to sleep About how much I hate myself because of them About how much they ****** me up I just wonder If they were me Would my parents Hate them like I do?
