The Poem

One thing I love to do that's a passion of mine is write songs. Here is one of my songs. I'd LOVE to know your opinions. This one is called "THE POEM". Here are my Lyrics: It’s empty, at times, no one seems to know These feelings inside, I’ve got no place to go. Darkness surrounds me and the pain grows so deep I feel so angry for what was done to me My playful ways were stolen from my life And through these days I struggle with my strife No one can help me I suffer on my own Why can’t I see, that I have grown The pain inside me just won’t seem to go No one can see, no one can know. My past is my present my future live right there I’m so hesitant, I live internal fear. Internal rage and lonely cries nobody hears Deep inside these bright eyes lives long past fears I’m trying just to hide, I’m trying to put on face To all you, I’ve lied, I’m a total waste. My actions are a product of all that I’ve been through You may think I’m exotic but I’m dangerous to you I have no control of where emotions go No one to console, my head about to blow. I don’t know love it was stolen don’t ya know No help from above, no help from below. I’m all alone yet never by myself The pain that I’ve known I’m screaming out for help No one can hear me the cries are in my head This pain they can’t see I am the living dead I show them my smile and I represent so well I maintain my style yet I’m going through hell I am a pretty face yet I’m so dark inside Pain is my pace inside myself I hide All I’ve ever known was pain, pain’s now my pleasure I just wanna stop the rain, have something I can treasure My hatred transmuted to deeper darker things Reality disputed with darkness I have a fling Light never shines on me love I cannot know I’m in far and deep and I will never show The demons inside my head mental torture I go through So I’ll just lay in the bed do what I’m supposed to do I’ll give you everything you want cause that’s what I’ve been taught What I need is not upfront, what I need can’t be bought Nobody knows the truth of the pain of my past The terror of my youth the nightmares do last Into this very day I just can’t clear my mind I feel there is no way to continue in this time
