The Two Of Me

Two people I have learned to be,
one is hidden inside of me.
The one outside that everyone can see,
tries to act happy and somewhat carefree.
But most of the time i'm lonely and scared,
and I try to act like it's not even there.
Deep inside behind my mask,
lives all the hurt and hauntings of the past.
I'm a torn and tortured person inside,
and sometimes it's oh so hard to hide.
It never leaves it's always inside,
and many times i've cried, and cried, and cried.
There's always something there to remind me,
of the things I would like to leave behind me.
I would like to get rid of these things,
all of them including the dreams.
I want to cast out all the pains,
get out of all these chains.
Cast out all the heartaches,
and forget all the heartbreaks.
I try to overcome all of my sorrows,
but I know there's more coming tomorrow.
I can't comprehend what lifes all about,
and everywhere I turn I feel shutout.
With everything I do I face obstructions,
and everywhere I go there's so much corruption.
In my mind there is no doubt,
what I need is a quick way out.
So now I have come to this deduction,
I feel like I am getting closer and closer....
to the EVE OF DESTRUCTION.

WOW..and WOW....I am living in that same bubble and have often felt and sometimes still feel lonely in a crowd of people...I think of it as always being on....except alone...it can be draining..but I understand the need to keep up the appearance and keep everthing out...really touching poem...

Wow, you described me in a nutshell. I feel as though lately, that inner me is showing on the outside, so I try to stay in the house as much as possible so no on will see. I try to stay in my shell. The shell I'm referring to is in my oldest entry called "It's Enough". I'd love to know your thoughts on it.

Very nice, i like how every line rhymed, but they were not short lines, they each had a point of their own to add to the poem...

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
