ok this isnt my best really im just venting.....so yeah i dont even know if it will make sense to any of you.....it still needs some work I invented this monster For fun? I’m not quite sure It seemed good at the time I could put on this mask each day And I was different And had such a mysterious way of living But the more I lived that way The more I lost myself I became more like the masked person each day The person that no one seemed to like But with everyday I was more and more like that person Until I lost myself completely I’m in the dark without a light And the monster that wasn’t So big Or so scary in the beginning Has become over towering And gruesome People don’t realize how little of me is left And I hate them for not knowing And not hearing my screams I hate them for saying It will be better in the morning Or I could be better if I wanted too Because it will never be better in the morning And I can’t be better Each time I try to be who I “should” have been I’m a stranger to myself I truly don’t remember how to be me I never thought this monster would overpower me I thought I was strong enough to stand against it But it has me pinned against the wall And I can’t fight it anymore one morning you wake up afraid you are going to live [This message has been edited by DarkAngelOfTheStars (edited 06-22-2001).] |

I loved this one. It kinda reminds me of something, but I am not sure if that is your situation or not, so nevermind. You did a good job venting!! *~*Amanda*~* |
