Shutting It Out

by Torn   Dec 2, 2005


Written about a month ago..

I can't deal with these feelings,
The ones inside of me.
So I've decided to shut them out,
So the world I can see.

I'll become an empty corpse,
Feelings hidden deep within.
So I can deal with this pain,
And the reasons I will never win.

I'll still listen to your words,
I'll pay attention to what you say,
But when it comes to acting on them,
I'll leave that for another day.

This is worth a try,
I think it's the only way to survive.
To make me feel worthy of something,
Or even to just feel alive.

No matter what I do,
No matter what you say.
Nothing ever changes,
I can't go on this way.

So shutting it out,
Will save me from this pain.
Becoming completely numb,
Will let me win this game.

    Hey i loved this poem, its something a lot of people can relate to easily and in so many different situations, which is a hard feeling to create in words. i liked the last stanza,

    So shutting it out,
    Will save me from this pain.
    Becoming completely numb,
    Will let me win this game.

    thanks for all your comments btw, i love your work.
