Random Poem:

things i cant explain
takemehome

walking home alone because I fear conversation
 1
coming home to pour my heart out
 2
to the shower
 3
the hot water washes away all my tears
 4
no one even hears
 5
my sobs they are lost
 6
my tears they run down the drain
 7
crying for reasons I wish I could explain
 8
it’s not like me to shut myself out
 9
but I feel like no one understands
 10
I've reached for comfort
 11
but no one seems to soothe this uneasiness inside of me
 12
they can try
 13
i will nod and say I’m fine
 14
but it’s all a lie
 15
these arms encircling me
 16
are lost on me
 17
I don’t feel you anymore
 18
 
 
how do I put on such a bright face?
 19
no one could notice until 2:36pm
 20
when my guard is down
 21
my sighs fall to the ground
 22
my eyes they glisten with these new tears
 23
you walk on by, confirm my fears
 24
you don’t notice
 25
you don’t care
 26
my silence to you is something you don't dare
 27
confront
 28
but all I want is for someone to reach out
 29
i'm slipping farther and farther away
 30
it’s getting closer and closer and each day
 31
might just lose all my sense of direction
 32
might just lose all desire to keep on
 33
my fears they are locked up tight inside of me
 34
and if I open up just a little,
 35
 
 
I’m scared of what you would see
 36
