This is me

By maliaka

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

this is me sitting in the dark letting the blackness cover my being this is me mistaking bleeding for seeing this is me sorry melodramatic excuse of a girl this is me still overwhelmed by every corner of the world this is me-mistaking fleeing for being if this is me, tell me who the hell I am this is me always running for cover peering over every shoulder in constant search of a new fad this is me with a face that doesn't laugh like a ghost with a smile that isn't forced If I'm happy then why do I look so sad? this is me with a constant struggle to fight back tears I only scream when I hope no one hears this is me, who am I to you? Drown out the pain with blood starve away the shame like a drug cheating a new tomorrow with every vice that rids the sorrow this is me now tell me who the hell I amHi, I wrote this one just a few weeks ago. I rarely like my own poems, but I like this one ok because it came out on paper exactly how I felt it in my mind, and I always like when it comes out as easy as this did.
