Redundant Wheel

Still broken hearted trying to find something, someone real

I have this funny feeling

Deep down in the pit of my stomach

That this will soon end.

I try to be flexible

Letting you in on my true emotions.

You see what you saw.

Now its hard for you to continue to pretend.

I hope its just me.

But I think I can see it in your face,

That maybe we would be better as just friends.

I play every game to win.

Run every race to the finish;

In our perfect picture there is a blemish.

Trying with all my might to stand tall,

But my equilibrium must be off,

Cause no matter what I still feel like

I'm fixing to fall.

I want to, but to whom do I call.

Left with no choice but to muster all of my strength,

And onward to my emotional wall I crawl

My constant foundation.

I truly hope inside, you feel the way I feel.

My emotions when you're not around

Have me feeling like a mouse trapped in his cage.

Trying so hard but getting no where.

Only thing left for him to do is run in a redundant wheel.

Point blank period.

So seemingly close but so far away from true love

Is how I feel.

I know if you I lose,

There will hardly be a limit to my inner blues.

I just ask that you place yourself

Momentarily in my shoes.

Anything worth having is worth working for.

So with that I'm leaving an option for two doors.

One will lead you back into the world

The other into my heart and soul.

A very redundant wheel indeed, great write.

I enjoyed this, especially because the wording gave me the impression that this was written whiles the emotion was fresh. My favorite lines were

"Trying with all my might to stand tall,
But my equilibrium must be off,
Cause no matter what I still feel like
I'm fixing to fall."

I thought that was very touching.

This is how I've been feeling lately- like I'm going in complete circles. You can't be the only one trying and putting in 110%.
