#whybother - Hello Poetry

I think we all Relate to two simple words Why bother? All our thoughts Have been thought before It seems like all our ideas Have been taken It's taken me a long while To realize There is no standard We need to live up to We set our goals Impossibly high Life in itself Is the reason to live Each life Is a new way the universe Is viewed I suppose that is why Death is saddening It extinguishes Another window A mirror Of nothing Turned into a whole new Reality We say we cannot change The whole world Of course not We can only alter our view But that's something Isn't it?

Right. Thats who i am. Who ill always be. Just do me a favor and lock away the key But like usual I forgot something else again Worthless trophy locked away on this dusty shelf Used to the darkness And the shadows of doubt Scattered pieces lie about Bleed me dry tear me apart Do it correctly, inside out But even with that dusty key I would still be stuck here it seems Too afraid of what lies beyond Paper thin door Memmories never vanquished Never even gone They play with my concious Twist and pull those strings Making me flinch and panic yet again The wounds run deep Your words become mine Oh dont worry, my demons are pleased Theyre having a great time The scars? Forget them not. The stitches were better used on others The ones not forgot. But hey, thats ok. I never wanted them anyway. Newly healed hurts more to break, Than the skin always broken anyway.

Scary dream Mangled screams But oh how do YOU envision such a scene? Much different I suppose Than oh. One of THOSE Sighing slowly Ever near When will I be free from here? Arms unbound and heart now found Free to make such awful sounds up and down inside out spread me thin through the ground Cover them up. Hide them true Sew me up lace the wounds Send me far far away In tomorrow, instead of today. Scary dreams Mangled screams Coming from inside Where darkness makes a hide Seeping into the shadows Creasing ever corner Oh how I wonder If I should really warn her?
