Im drowing in my own tears
Needing a helping hand
Needing saving from my own fears
Troubled by my demons I crawl into a ball
I scream out for help
But my voice is blocked out by a wall
My lungs begin to burn from the lack of air
My heart begins to ache from the lack of care
Tears gushing out of me like a waterfall
I begin to ******* own ending
My soul is detaching from my body and is descending
I will meet my tormentor
Look it in the eyes and ask it why it tormented me my whole life
Why it kept me from having kids and a wife
My life was never my own
I was a loner walking amongs demons
Without a place to call home
Reflecting on life in the after life
Seeing myself crying on my bed at night.
I was such a lonely boy who told everyone he was alright
It grabbed my hand and took me to me demise
I would be punished
Burnt with a fire fueld by all the lies
I could feel my skin being eaten away by the flames.
A memory comes to me.
I remember a sweet childhood full of candy and games
I was an innocent infant
Till it found me and consumed me
It was always in me and never let me be
I felt empty yes, but it was drinking from my soul
It was the reason why I felt so empty
It was the reason why I was never happy
I resented my life ever since it found me
I was broken and couldnt be helped
Now I stand in a fire about to melt
The pain seems familiar
Feels like home.
Screaming wouldnt help
Im lost now. With no way of coming back
At least my name would go up on a plaque
I made a difference in a few
I imprinted on the ones who mattered the most
They used me and overdosed
Made me feel even more empty than I already was
How could a being be so deceitful?
So cruel and so evil ?
Is that how you were made ?
Or was it part of the game you played ?
The game of heartbreak and tears
Fake people and smoke and mirrors
I lost that game a long time ago
I came back to reality
And the fire had burnt me from head to toe
How was I still alive ?
Then I see the burnt flesh peel away
The fire eats my skin away again
Im beginning to go insane
It was my sentance
To burn in the fire forever
But in some way to me it brought pleasure
I was used to the pain
So as the torture repeated again and again
My face just remained plain
I was numb
And I looked up to earth
Looked all the way back to my birth
Maybe if I was born in a different time I would have turned out differently
It wouldnt have found me
I would have been a shut door without a key
Safe from the voices
I would have felt true happiness
My life wouldnt have been a mess
But it was inevitable for the ones I loved to hurt me
I watched them move on, find joy in someone else
To me it never made sense
Was I that bad of a person
I loved all. Cared for all. Sacrificed so much
But actually I destroyed everything by just a touch
Everything I loved , touched , encountered turned to dust
I never brought anyone happiness, just pain
I was a cloud full of it and showered it over everyone like rain
I was chasing love but ended up running away from the pain that came with it
Was love just abstract
I was never going to find it and that was a fact
I was always being played with
I was lied to and shown fake love
Love was just a myth
Or it was just not for me
At least thats what I thought
Until I met her.
A sublime beauty.
I was lovestruck .
And she had my heart .
She had her way with words
She had me wrapped around her fingers
She knew that I was forever going to be hers
I was addicted to her
She kept the pain away
I knew if I wanted to survive I had to make her stay
I wasnt going to let her go
She brought a new feeling
I didnt know I would fall so hard for a human being
Was it fait
Because it felt like she came into my life too late
I was a messed person with no future
But she overlooked all of that at loved me
The voices were still there but they were fading away
It wasnt tormenting as much anymore
Slowly it will close my door
And the key will be thrown away
Ill be left alone, with her.

I don't always understand my emotions. But poetry helps me put the into words. I hope when you read this you will be able to relate to some of these emotions I went through and that you'll understand you're not alone. Torontoisart.
