I Can't Stop

I can't stop writing.

I can't stop feeling sad.

I can't stop being nervous.

I can't stop losing what I had.

 

I'm depressed and under-loved.

At least that's how I feel.

I can't stop eating my words.

I have them for every meal.

 

I gorge my self on pity.

I eat all my regrets.

I can't stop shoving it down.

All my problems are like pets.

 

I groom, I feed, I love them.

But always, in the end.

They hurt me oh so badly.

My heart gets bruised and bent.

 

My only wish is to stop.

I can't stop ever wishing.

But the only constant in my life.

Is that all the good is always missing.

 

A tortured soul? I wouldn't say.

I don't like to complain.

But I can't stop complaining.

I like to feel the pain.

 

Longer then the others.

The list goes on and on.

And I can't stop writing because

Sadness is my song.
