Dead Inside

Or might it be better to cut open your veins? Only when I die will I be free of these games; I tried to run, forget, and live a life, But those hopes were shattered, alas, in strife, I tried to smile and laugh and joke, But with every word my heart slowly broke; So now as I stand here, longing for death, I'm trying to enjoy every single breath, But my soul has shattered, and my heart has broke, So why am I still here, living in smoke? I'm dead inside, no matter what, I'd rather just become forgot, So many times I stood and fought, But I couldn't ever gain the wish I sought; So leave me here, leave me to die, I'm empty now, can't even cry, There's nothing you can do for me, So let me die and I'll be free...

I found your poem, not because I had searched it just to read it, but because my sister stolen it and claimed it as her own work. I just want to apologize for that, it really is a lovely poem and I write poems as well.

I really like this, it has a nice ring and actually rhymes c: I know it's not all about rhyming but i think it sounds better when it does. I want to submit poems too but can't figure out how the hell to. Is there a submit button somewhere? It would b awesome if someone helped, thnx.

i think it speaks freely to the people who actually have problems with cutting not to the people think its a style
