Knowing that nothing can be fixed,
The damage has already been done,
And you can't get rid of it,
No matter how far you've come;
That's the pain you cannot ease.
FYI: the reason for 2 dates is because I was looking over old things I'd written roughly and I adapted it slightly to make it an actual poem this time.

I'd like to be normal please,
Not having to wonder about what will happen when I leave
Thinking I'll feel trapped again,
Where I won't even be able to do anything.
Nostalgia always envelopes me and mixes with what I want the future to be
But it hurts me and I just have to stop and think,
Because I'm not sure that's attainable anymore.

Then I think I need comfort,
I imagine what could have been
Which is painful too,
But what else can I do?
I try a lot but often I'm too scared to,
Instead I just sit there.
I feel like I don't want to do anything again,
Then I have to move and carry on with the rest of the world.
I seem just fine,
I look the same as I've always been.
It's easy to be overlooked when you never get a second glance,
And if I do then I just look happy,
When really on my own I'm not coping.
I've tried to explain but I can never express all of it,
No one could understand anything
Because it's everything together
When what I have on the inside feels a bit like nothing.

There is nothing now.
Nothing is anymore,
But that happened before.

Inexplicable
Has it been over, is it still?
Do I hear the consciously made whispers of myself?
It's not a problem,
I can't explain it because it's not real
And in between things don't get taken seriously
And I don't want anyone to know.
I've been convincing myself not to tell,
Anyway, I'm not doing anything at all.
I just want to go to sleep
And not bother anymore.
Simple things scare me,
But not enough for it to class as severe.
I think everything I feel multiplied and blended together
So now I don't know what's what,
I only know it hurts a lot.

The Mess I Make Of Myself
My body’s not broken
Maybe just my soul is then,
If it’s not my brain it’s just my psyche,
There really is nothing that I can get right.

I knew it wasn’t possible,
To be really loved by somebody else,
But this was what I preferred:
To feel so bad about what I did but be aware he didn’t actually care.
I hope he didn’t.

It’s just a part he can’t remember,
My friends told me he claimed to want the same, for us to end, only to make me feel better.
To do that he must have really thought so,
That I was good somewhere inside,
Even though I knew he just couldn’t see my darknesses,
But how could that be? I never did believe.
Surely he just wanted to make the rejection less,
If I used that it would have been to ease the embarrassment, pretend it wasn’t wrong.

Maybe it’s just easy,
To forget
Well, I know how easy it is to forget my whole existence,
No one ever knows when I’m there.

Before when I thought about how bad it was for him,
I did believe it because he was so
Everything
It seemed so true,
Not that it ever counts for much but I guess it was different.
However there was her,
He liked her not just before but afterwards,
I wasn’t jealous, I just pointed out that he didn’t like her
We weren’t her biggest fans together, I know that’s sad.
But if I was the middle and she was the
Start and end,
Maybe I was just a rebound of a crush, huh?

That would’ve been me trying to make myself feel better,
I feel guilty for even wondering this,
When he did everything right and
I was everything wrong.
Perhaps I really did just want attention.
The thing it taught was to never trust myself: mind or heart.
Both of these are always wrong
When it comes to the messed up person that is me.

I don’t think I’m capable
Of loving someone real,
And that’s only my fault still,
I’m not attempting excuses:
I’ve never believed in them inside my own surrounding essence.

I know I should stay away,
I knew it but still I played
With my imagination of wondering if anything could be an actuality,
It’s wrong, so wrong of me - but it was just a conversation,
And now I feel a mess over something so stupid, so small.
Of course I shouldn’t have meant anything at all.

Dead inside
Just close your eyes
One day you will wake up
Everything will be fine

I’m sorry for letting the darkness seep in,
So many times, and for telling you about it,
I should have let it fester quietly instead,
Then maybe you wouldn’t have got fed up and left just yet.

— The End —
