Goodbye - Morgan B (books for 10th graders .TXT) 📗

the walls close in as cold air touches my skin

I'm tired of the lies

trying to pretend that I'm not dying

goodbye

I fake a smile

luckily they don't care enough

to dial into my real emotions

they couldn't bare the truth

if only they tried pealing through my layers

to see the real me

then maybe

they would finally love me

a tear rolls off my face

and the fear eats me alive

maybe this time

it will be different

 I don't want to leave

but I cant stay here

not like this

not under these circumstances

goodbye

I wish they knew the truth

the screaming between the cries

and I can only pray

that I get through

because I've had enough and yes,

I know life is tough

but some can make it

while others break down

people like me

they fall to their knees

in agony

because they know the time has come

for the truth to finally come out

I am from the darkness

I am from suffering

and you cannot over look me anymore

some break the rules of society

and finally let go

my veins run deep

the heap I call my life makes me despise it

if only they knew the truth

the knife cuts deep

scaring me forever

I know its wrong

I know I should show my feelings

but its my only escape

the cold edge sinks in

and then I'm okay for another day

but now,

it doesn't help anymore

 my heart has shut for good

and I don't have to worry anymore

because I am free

 the barrel is at my temple

I close my eyes and smile

its my time

and the truth finally comes out

boom

my world crumbles with me

and I pour onto the ground

its over and its all okay

because the truth came out

and maybe

now they will understand

why I had to say

goodbye
