Bleeding Inside

An internal wound that's forever there, I can't be helped, I just want them to care. It's like a bomb ticking inside, longing to explode, helping only pushes me further to my lonely abode. It's like bleeding, bleeding inside, no one to trust, no where to hide. Only forcing it further within the depths of my heart, I live with a smile, internally being ripped apart. My teachings, influence the ones I know, but the deep reserved loneliness, never shows. It's like bleeding, bleeding inside, no one to trust, no where to hide. I am but the strongest around, but no one knows me, I am not yet found. Everyone feels they love me, for I am loving, kind, but inside, is the entire universe balled up in my mind. It's like bleeding, bleeding inside, no one to trust, no where to hide. Ambition, faith, hope, love, all I can perceive, won't hold its ground on death's eve. For no one can save me, I am but a lost soul, my entire being will be sucked in my own black hole. It's like bleeding, bleeding inside, no one to trust, no where to hide. Why must it end this way, for it's been a long life I have led, bleeding internally, I was never born, always dead. It's like a wound, my life needs revive, but will I make it, will I survive? That's for me to decide... (c) Joe Ulisses 2001 Written October 1st, 2000 © on Feb 05 2002 01:56 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
