Watching the World Go By

By DarkDruidess

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I’ve been beaten and cowed I’ve stood straight and proud I don’t like either extreme Isn’t there somewhere in between My will has been broken My self control is just a token I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die Just sit here and take my pills to get high Watching the world go by While inside I slowly cry Shedding tears of bitterness For my state of loneliness Cursing the lot of my fate While the hour grows late Hating my self inflicted pain Yet yearning to do it again They say I am falling apart I say I am suffering from a broken heart They say I am crazy I’m just lazy Watching the world go by While inside I slowly die Written April 10th, 2002 © on Apr 10 2002 12:27 AM PST, Tami Ellis   0 • 10
