‘Growing Weaker’

I don’t think I can take this no more,
The pain within me has started to take over me,
Snapping and anger is ragging inside of me,
I am growing weaker everyday,

Each time we argue I am getting weaker,
I just don’t think I can go on, no more,
My past is coming back to haunt me,
Causing all this friction between us,

I feel I can’t take any more,
I’m crumbling down inside,
Even though I don’t show it,
I am getting weaker as the days keep ending,
I wish I could lose my past,
And have a new beginning,

Weaker as I’m getting,
The sun is still setting,
I wish the world could stop,
I wish everyone would stop,
I’m about to crumble,
I’m dying inside,

It feels I have no one to help me,
No one,
I feel I cannot speak,
Like the world has trapped me,
It’s like all I have is, to write my thoughts,
‘Im weak’

All I feel is the world and everyone in it, is against me,
There’s things I needed to say,
The world has taken my voice,
I’m getting weaker,
Feeling helpless as I lay here writing this,
The words I want to say,
The voice I needed yesterday,

I feel so empty, like my soul has been taken,
It’s like God has forsaken me,
Set out to haunt me with this life I lead,
I am so weak now, just about dead,

Each punch I take, apart of me dies,
Each evil look I get, makes me sigh,
‘What do I have to do, to make me right, in your eyes’
Am I (edited by moderator) ashamed of who I am,
I’m me, and me only,
I’m gaining strength,
Only to be stuck down by a lightening blow,
I’m dying; no one can save me,
Not even,

Me.

A few words need to be fixed here and there,,to make them flow,,
i.e. "I don’t think I can take this no more," while further along you say any more...."I feel I can’t take any more"
Your message comes thru loud and clear,,,just a little editing to clean it up,,,

Michelle

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike

The core message of the poem is very good. However, much is repetitive without adding anything. It really needs to be edited.

That being said, this is a sad poem with which I can relate. Hope things go well for you. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading more of your work.
