I Give Up

Words can't express the way I feel
It's like living two lives
The music no longer helps
I can't end my lines in rhymes
Or maybe it's just listening to my best friend cry in her bed at night
I can't write from a title
And I can't write a title from what I've written
Words run through my blood
But the can't pour out of the pen
No one's encouragement encourages me
But everyone's discouragement discourages me
Everything comes out as nonsense
And it used to make sense to me
But somewhere down the road
I turned down a dead end
And straight into a river
I find myself writing but not finishing
My thoughts left incomplete
Complete is how they used to leave me
Now they don't make me
They break me
And wake me in the middle of the night
Nothing I do is right
But you've heard it all before
Nobody can help
It's already been said
I can't finish because of frustration
And I suffer from lack of concentration
My writing has been disapproved
But it's all I have
And now it's all I had
One more thing has been taken away
Sometimes if I listen to the same song
Their life becomes mine
But before that all I asked was for a little time
And everyone told me not to whine
I used to read and drown myself in the story
But then everyone would worry
Times up!
Now it's time to wrap it up
What category will this go in?
Sad poems
Poems about life
Or other
Man I won't even bother
I give up
