What to do. What to say. What to write. I feel trapped in every way. Theirs nothing I want to do, but lay around all day. It’s my own problem. But it makes me hate everyone. I just can’t get up, but I should. I guess life’s burnt me out, and left me to drown.
I wonder what it’s like To have a peaceful night’s sleep To not be scared of the silence To not be terrified of the clock ticking My eyes burn with no respite As I write poems at night Maybe if I empty my mind I will finally be able to unwind My demons laugh at me They will not let me be I’m losing my will to continue living As I lie on my bed writhing.
What good am I if I can't help the ones I love? I can't stop the anger or the violence I can't stop her demons from destroying her mind I can't help as much as I want to And trust me I want to All I can do is pretend the bad things aren't happening tune them out like I've done so many times before I want to help but I'm just helpless
