What You Want To Know

What You Want To Know

A Poem by Destiny Glenn

You don’t know much

You want to know everything

Everything that’s going on

Everything circling my head

You keep begging

But you don’t know

I can’t just say what’s killing me

I can barely speak

I can’t even think anymore

 

I don’t know how to cry for help

The only thing I knew to do

I’ve lost the energy to smile

It’s why I hide my face

There’s always tears in my eyes

I’ve learned to disguise them

It’s a part of my daily routine

To hide the cry in my voice

I stay quiet, very quiet

 

I can’t find the words to say

I’m dying on the inside

I don’t know why

It’s all too much

What is worse

Is that I feel like I’m a timer

Stuck on one second left

When all I want

Is to make it to zero

I really enjoyed this poem, and I’m looking forward to reading more of your pieces.

I'm kind of new on here and it would be an honor if you can review my 4 new recent poems (The world is ours, Nostalgia, Paradise, and You) and others.

Thank you and Keep up the Good work!
