Pick up the broken peices

just how i'm feeling right now with life.

Feeling all these emotions I shouldn’t be feelings

Making unconscious decisions without even knowing

Is this really how I feel or how I think I should feel?

The pressure is so heavy I can barely breathe

These feelings I shouldn’t be feeling, acknowledging

What did I do to deserve this?

Thinking of the ways I can get free of these emotions

Loving you is the only way I get through these heavy nights

Where it feels like the world is crashing down on me

The weight on my shoulders is so heavy I can barely stand

The tears wont stop my heart is slowly breaking apart

How do I get rid of this burden

Cant you see that I am hurting?

Should I be feeling this pain? Is it mine to sustain or is it someone else’s emotion

Letting go is such a hard thing to do, how do I expect people to hear me when I can’t even listen to myself

The anger and regret is so strong I can feel it breaking me down

Being honest is the hardest thing to do, being honest with yourself is even harder

Self hate is the worse enemy you can have when you’re the only one pushing yourself down further

Smothering on the words I can’t seem to speak , I’m suffocating on my regrets

Will you pick up the broken pieces, though they scattered near and far

Help me put my life back together, and lift this unbearable burden

Then maybe I can start to live again

Author's Note

I know this isn't technically a poem because it doesn't rhyme very well. But I still consider it a form of poetry, can anyone relate to feeling this way?

This is really cool! I like the few rhymes you did put in, weather you realized them or not. Some really good metaphors in here. :)
