i don't understand
what's taking place.
sometimes i wish i
wasn't running this race.
it's much too difficult
for someone like me.
who carries thier burdens
for all others to see.
i wish i could let go
like everyone else can.
i wish i didn't need
some sad excuse for a man.
i wish i didn't need you
to keep my pain away.
but sadly i do
so i guess you'll have to stay.
i can't turn you back
though i probably should.
i need to pull myself together
if only i could.
i'm fading away fast
please just let me go.
it's all for the best
i'm in pain, you know.
i'm leaving you now
not in body, but mind.
i couldn't handle my life
and it was just time.
i can't see the light
i'm think i'm going insane.
but i need you to know
it's just me, hiding pain.


So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.

i'd just take out the first "that" you have; it isn't needed. otherwise, good rhyming.

Kool flow, easy to read.
Seems like one of those poems where you were just sitting down and just started writing what came to your mind on the subject.

Amazing.
Although in
"i'm leaving you now
not in body, but mind.
i couldn't handle my life
and it was just time."

The tense seems a little mixed because it jumps from you leaving the person in the present to the past. It might make a bit more sense if it was "I can't handle my life and it is just time"

Then again, maybe it's referring to different things and I'm being a spaz XD

Brittany,
I like this just the way it is. Well done. Peace...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
