DISCLAIMER* I wrote this a very long time ago and it wasn't originally a poem! I just separated it into sections so it was in a more poem-like format. I felt like it had emotion behind it, so I decided to post it. Here's the "poem" -
It really hurts. It hurts like hell. It's hurts more than a thousand needles piercing my skin.
It's a sinking feeling. A sinking feeling in my stomach, in my heart. I don't know what to believe anymore. My mind tells me one thing and my heart tells another.
I'm at war with myself, and I'm completely losing. I've lost myself. Utterly, and almost completely.
I can smile, I can laugh. But that's only when I forget. And as soon as I remember, I'm knocked right back down again. And no one seems to care. No one cares enough to ask.
Because, who cares about ME? None of my friends, none of my family. It's hell on Earth, because I know it's not their job to notice! It's my job to tell them!
But I'm petrified. I'm scared I'll disappoint them. Make them run away. Make them think I'm weird. Make them feel like I've gone crazy.
Maybe that's it. Maybe I've gone completely crazy! But who cares anymore? Definitely not myself.
I really debated whether or not to post this, because I wrote it a very long time ago, but I felt like it had emotion behind it, so I'm posting it. Love, Avery.
