Misery

Here I lye in misery Begging for this pain to leave me And it never changes. Nothing ever changes. Every day feels longer than the last. Broken memories tangle and collapse Have you ever felt lost inside? Falling to pieces, tearing at the seems. Broken dreams and desperate screams Hide behind the smile, the plastic smile This hellish nightmare is my own disdain I'm the only one who is to blame And it never changes. Nothing ever changes. I'm the one who bears the lock and key I'm the one who can set me free Sometimes we are captor and captive Jailer and Inmate Master and slave The choice for freedom is within arm's reach Because those who find are those who seek.

I realised all my poems for years have been depressing. I started to doubt I could do a happy poem so I have started trying. I never quite like them as much tho. it doesn't seem my style haha I can put more feeling into a sad poem it seems to flow easier!
