I Don't Want

by AnotherJournalEntry   Sep 16, 2005


I don't want to think
I don't want to breathe
I don't want to do
Anything at all.
It's become so hard
To do all this now.
The pressure is immense
And the stakes are high.
So many better things
To be doing and
Places to go, people to see.
But I just can't do that.
I need a break from reality.

I don't want to think
I don't want to breathe
I don't want to do
Anything at all.
Getting to this point
Was just too easy.
But getting out of here
Will be a million times harder.
I can't take it anymore.
I just need a break.
Some time to unwind-
To get away from here.
And then I'll be fine.

I don't want to think
I don't want to breathe
I don't want to do
Anything at all.
I’m slowly dying here
But you don't notice-
You don't care.
No one ever does so
Here I am, right in front of you.
How can you not see me?
I'm doing worse than ever
Look at me and you'll see-
I can't do this for much longer.

I don't want to think
I don't want to breathe
I don't want to do
Anything at all.
I'm slipping further away,
Away from all I used to know.
But you can't see that.
It seems so distant now.
Getting back will be so tough.
The lie is getting harder.
The acting won't keep up for long.
Soon you'll see me;
The real me that I'm hiding.

I don't want to think
I don't want to breathe
I don't want to do
Anything at all.
It seems so pointless
To be here today.
I can't see the reason-
Do you know what
I'm going through?
Of course you don't,
You never do, and
I don't want to do
Anything at all.

    Wow. I felt really touched by that. You did an outstanding job. And i liked it because you didn't make it just a poem. You made it something more, like lyrics to someone's life song. It was a great job, keep on writing and i'll keep reading.
