I try

what if i wanted to change?

change into somebody else?

what would i do?

what could i do...

 

i no longer know myself

im fed up with playing pretend

ill try

to find out who "myself" is

 

i no longer understand

when and why i let myself cry

tears of many things

regrets and lonliness

ill try

to hide them away

 

wounds inside and out

scars that have leave me with no doubt

i see blood flow

that ceasts to end

i try

to act as if there no longer real

 

with all these thoughts in my head

i try but have no reason why

i cant go on

but ill try to live life

and act as everything is alright

Simply put, nice bit of emotion here.

[Jeremy Baker]

Strong words, straight from the heart. Well written - a few small nits (typos, no doubt) but very engaging nonetheless.

Oh, with so much emotion...Very nice poem...So heart-felt... :D

[Daytonight]

I think there are a lot of us living life, or trying, and pretending that everything is fine to the outside world when in reality our world is falling to part and our heart is broken into a million bits. Well penned. Keep up the great work.

I can defiantly relate to this one Athena. I really like how the first sentence opens up this write. Excellent work.
