WannaBeNormal - My Search for Peace, Love

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS AN OLD POEM! THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANYONE RECENTLY. THIS HOLDS NO MEANING TO ME OTHER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD POEM.

Why do I bother

Why do I care

They warned me against it

So why did I dare

Your words broke my heart

But your silence hurt me more

I’m sick of the fighting

My soul bruised and sore

I didn’t have to love you

No you never asked me to

But I couldn’t help my feelings

When it came to you

Now here I sit crying

Tears stream down in despair

The love I wanted from you

Was never really there

Why was I such a fool

Why did I give you the one thing

The only thing that you could hurt

Each strike was to you just another sting

Have I not been through enough

What more could you ask

Bad enough were your comments

But to find out you’d been wearing a mask

Now I wear one too

This smile painted on

I pull it together

And off you go to your next con

Your cruelty has been heard

The message received

You crushed me, you burned me

You left me deceived

See I thought you were different

I thought dreams do come true

You took away that hope

So for that I thank you

As I sort thru this mess and pick up the pieces

You taught me all too well

I’ll never forget what you’ve given me

I’ll make it through this hell

I’ll come out on top

I put this behind me

And back inside I will lock myself

So deep no one can find me
