Stuck in the invisible mud
If I fall it’ll leave a thud
Incapable to try to move
The grip’s starting to create a groove
I had my dreams go up in smoke
Better stay low in case I choke
Inside my chest there raged a fire
It burnt everything I had to desire
The only point I’m at is Patiti
I know the waves won’t catch me
Smoking a joint so my blood gets thicker
Maybe it’ll dry my eyelids quicker
I’m a man of little emotion
While looking over the Pacific Ocean
But I’ve got no fears
So I promise you no tears
They don’t shed from my eyes
They’re just hidden in disguise
They don’t run over my skin
They’re just buried deep within
Sweet dreams with a touch of hell
Should I hide it or should I tell?
I’ll just smile and say “I’m okay”
If only I said what I wanted to say
If I fall it’ll leave a thud
Incapable to try to move
The grip’s starting to create a groove
I had my dreams go up in smoke
Better stay low in case I choke
Inside my chest there raged a fire
It burnt everything I had to desire
The only point I’m at is Patiti
I know the waves won’t catch me
Smoking a joint so my blood gets thicker
Maybe it’ll dry my eyelids quicker
I’m a man of little emotion
While looking over the Pacific Ocean
But I’ve got no fears
So I promise you no tears
They don’t shed from my eyes
They’re just hidden in disguise
They don’t run over my skin
They’re just buried deep within
Sweet dreams with a touch of hell
Should I hide it or should I tell?
I’ll just smile and say “I’m okay”
If only I said what I wanted to say
Today I present you with my newest poem, Tears. A poem that’s a direct response to my last poem ‘Change’ also the aspects and emotions that I spoke about throughout the poem.
This past week has been probably the worst week for quite a while and definitely the worst of the year so far, the mind at times wasn’t a healthy place in which I needed to realise the thoughts I was having out into the open, which this poem is the result of that very action.
Just to assure the readers of the poem, nothing in this poem is meant to be alluding to me having any suicidal thoughts, as mentioned above, it’s been a rough week, this poem was the only outlet I had to get everything off my mind. Also, the word in the third verse ‘Patiti’, is pronounced “Par-tee-tee”.
Thank you for taking the time to read this poem of mine, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. Your support gives me the inspiration to continue writing more of my poetry.
