Another Bad Day

by Andrea   Sep 21, 2004


I can't find a reason
To get up out of bed
And all of these thoughts
Keep rushing to my head.

Life is too beautiful for me
I can't even compare
Everyone around me is so happy
And I'm left in despair.

I keep hallucinating
I do not know what is there
Instead I see
What I want to be there.

I'm in my own world
But I still can feel the pain
Why is it so
That it cannot be tamed?

I lie a million times
And say I am okay
Even though I know
I'll never be that way.

I am so hungry
But I cannot eat
I still need to lose ten more pounds
To look and feel neat

I cannot seem to fake it anymore
I think everyone knows
They won't stop bothering me
I want them to leave me alone.

They pretend they care
But in the end they never do
They always betray your trust
While you end up a fool.

Although it would be nice
To have someone by my side
I can't imagine what it must
Feel like not to hide.

I cannot even focus.
It feels like I am possessed.
It won't let me try,
But maybe I am just depressed.

Quit yelling my name!
What you've got to say,
I don't want to hear.
I don't want to be here anyway.

My teacher tapped me
"Are you okay?"
My stomach jumped,
I didn't know if I could say.

That is a question I cannot be asked.
Because the answer to that
Is too long for you
To reply back

So I'll tell you what you want to hear.
"Yes, I am fine,"
I say calmly,
Lying another time.

I feel so useless
Like I am not worth to be here
Because all I really feel
Is so much pain and fear

I write down my feelings
Countless times
But the pain never leaves
As I type my rhymes.

Writing is not helping
Should I discontinue or not?
All I know right now
Is that I'm too confused to stop.

Why is it that I feel not a thing?
I know no one will come
So I just move along everyday,
Silent and numb

Maybe one of these days
Someone will help me get through
All of this pain
Caused by people like you.

    All this pain
    You feel deep inside
    It will not pass
    If, it, you continue to hide
