Selfish

By Shade

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It’s like cloudy oil in your mind. You cannot wash it away You can’t do anything but sit there Feeling disgusting alone tired. Your whole body aches You feel like you are dying on the inside While your soul suffocates in it’s own grief… And they call suicide selfish. They have no understanding of what it feels like Having the daily torment of life Be powerful enough to over shadow the love of those close to you. They can’t understand though... Because to understand is to be there and to be there is death. Written January 14th, 2002 © on Jan 14 2002 10:33 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
