Playing Invisible

by Daz Mellow   Mar 23, 2008


Can you see the real me?
I know I can't.
Am I who I want to be?
Cuz I'm not sure.

My shadow walks ahead of me,
My past, it makes me want to run.
I'm haunted by what I have done,
And my soul is crying...

You are a failure,
Your life's a mistake.
You're getting smaller,
With every hit you take.
No one can see you,
You make it impossible.
You should know by now,
You're playing invisible.

I can't help but to listen,
And I can't help but to stay silent,
But my silence is deafening.
And my head is yelling...

I'm such a failure,
My life's a mistake.
I'm getting smaller,
With every hit I take.
No one can see me,
I make it impossible.
I should know by now,
I'm playing invisible.

I don't know how to set me free.
I make it so hard just to breathe.
I'm making my own fire,
I'm picking my own wounds,
Until I'm sitting here, thinking to you,
How long before I bleed?

I want you to see the real me,
But I know I made it impossible.
I figured out, I'm playing invisible...

    I like this piece alot... its different and still i think most people can relate in some way.

    i noticed that its a "closed" poem, and the overall message is a bit depressing - but hey! life isnt always strawberries and cream!

    good one, keep it up! :-D
