Weight In My Chest

by Kuro   Jul 7, 2011


I wake up with a weight in my chest
I tell myself it's all for the best.
There are some days, all I want to be
Is a missing person, alone, free

I numb myself from all of the pain.
I hide it behind this smile I feign.
I cannot count all of my crimes
I can't explain it with these rhymes

Each day something dies inside of me
A larger hole growing more empty
Even the happy memories hurt
Apathy helps me to advert

    So much pain , sadness, hurt and devastation in your words ...that have touched my very heart & core. ( Maybe because I can relate to them...) Keep holding on dear poet, there is ALWAYs light at the end of the tunnel and brighter days :) .. (don't lose hope, for hope it gives us light...)

    Take care & keep penning! :)

    I am sure each of us have woken up to this
    heaviness at one point in our life and I know
    what it is like.a touching write where the flow was smooth...take care.
