No More Novocaine

I don't want to take all my problems away. They makes me who I am.

No More Novocaine

I sit alone

Feels like I'm trapped inside my head

And no one knows

I can't get out

You say you know

I'm just too young to really think

I don't care

Just let me out

Now is the time of our discontent

Cause all our dreams have died

Now we're just looking for the truth

In this world of lies

Hopeless worthless out of time

And it's so hard to see

Where all these problems came from

Just hope it isn't me

The time has past for regrets and fears

Cause every one of us was born to run

And no one cares enough to miss us

When its our turn to walk in the sun

No more Novocaine, no more lies

I need to see myself with my own two eyes

No more Novocaine, dry your eyes

At least the pain helps you know you're alive

Now I see what they mean

By the demons in my brain

Something's in me screaming

Driving me insane

Why am I so tired 

When i know I'll never sleep

Why am I still drowning

It shouldn't be this deep

The time has past for regrets and fears

Cause every one of us was born to run

And no one cares enough to miss us

When its our turn to walk in the sun

No more Novocaine, no more lies

I need to see myself with my own two eyes

No more Novocaine, dry your eyes

At least the pain helps you know you're alive

Face down haunted

By our sins and our past

Some hide it better

But their lies cant last

Well I definitely like it. I really like your last messages in all of the stuff I've read. You add a punch right at the end but it also allows the reader to let go, if you get what I mean. Like I said, feelings are what make us, us. Great write. Keep it up Nick!

[Laura Maidah]

I like it. I like the fourth stanza the best. I feel like it conveys the emotion without the anger of the beginning of the poem. I feel this way a lot... Go figure. Teen angst. Woooooo.
