From Myself to I

From Myself to I

A Poem by Sad Penguin
"

Something I've been needing to do for a while. To see the good inside of me, instead of only the failure.

"
When I look in my eyes
I see the sadness
Look a little deeper
Way beyond the madness
All my joy lives there
My love and hope
Shackled 
Tied down there
Even in my dreams
I punish myself
I make myself suffer
For what reason
I've never been arrested
Never cheated on someone
Hell
The worst I've probably done is stole a piece of gum
When will I realize
There is something to these glazed eyes
Something to love
Not something that must die
Even though my family doesn't care
That doesn't mean that everyone hates you
Doesn't mean everyone will only degrade you
Maybe someday you'll see a silver lining
Quit thinking about the timing
Focus on the grinding
In the end, its only you causing all this self blinding
For every breath
You refuse to take two
No matter how I act
I can't make someone love you
Get it together
Keep it that way
Someone else will come along
Make it a good day
People may come and go
But its me I have to live with
Stop torturing yourself
Say, "F**k Them," and forget it!
