If You Don't Learn, You Will Never Know Happiness

By QuietlyRemembering

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

This anxiety, it eats away at my heart, Devours my life and chains to the wall the soul I never attained. My heart pounds too fast to control, I breath for every second I live only 20 seconds too fast, As sweat dribbles down my face. I wish it would end and I could just sleep again without worrrying about waking up drenched in sweat. Everyday people try to tell me how I live, How I feel but they know less then I know of them, And if that's not true then there is no truth and there never will be. I hate the way you ignore every word I say, Forget every single important thing to me in a second's time. I hate how you brush away whatever I say whether it be wrong or it be right, And shrug your shoulders, Pulling your hair behind your ears and then crossing your arms. Stop pretending to be who you wish we would believe you are, Your lies won't save you now, Not here... Not anymore. You can't just walk around mooping all day because maybe some people worry about you... Are you too blind to see, Or do you see and choose to ignore? I know everyone is different and in that we are all the same, So I won't choose to ignore the fact that life isn't always that cream covered twinkie we wish it could be. I know you have your problems, But so do the rest of us, But we deal, And we will deal. Maybe it's time you wake up and deal yourself, Or forever be dead inside a lifeless life. If you don't learn, You can never know happiness.sorry if there are some grammar errors.. i was in a rush to edit it as it took a while to write. ..True story.. u know who u are whenever u read this.
