Try to be me

by kevin Boundy AKA the ghost   Mar 9, 2008


You act like you have me figured out
But you don't even have a clue
Try to be me? you don't even know
What you're getting yourself into

Try waking up in the morning
Wishing you never woke
Try witnessing your friend cry knowing
You can't take back the words you spoke

Try the weight of the world crashing down on you
Your knees are about to buckle
Try living a life on nothing but
Black eyes and broken knuckles

I live a life where no amount of drugs
Can come to my aid and free me
Now that I've told you what its like
Still want to try to be me?

    This is beautiful... so sad - so true.
    but... how many can relate? this poem captures both sides (do you know/do you want to know) and thats why i like it.

    you are really talented!
