Kind of a Morbid Poem I wrote a couple years ago, tell me what yall think.?

hundreds of words spoken

over half of them lies

wish i could believe

what i tell people

i make up stuff

just to make people happy

even if its not really

what i feel inside

everytime i smile

its just one more lie

passing these cursed lips

everyword i say

seems to be a lie these days

i pretend to always be happy

so people don't think

start asking questions

too many questions

instead i just smile

and act like its all okay

even though my worlds

crumbling as i speak

life is whatever

you make of it

apparently

i haven't done so great

i try to make something

out of everything i havn't got

im constantly trying

but i always stumble and fall

nobodys ever here

to catch me as i go

i'm slowly slipping away

never letting it show

im gasping for air

that just isn't there

but pretend i can breath

grasping for life

and still i fake happiness

never let my feeling thru

always smile

pretending again

whenever somebody asks me

if i'm okay

its a constant reminder

that nothing ever is

im always fuccing up

screwing everybody over

turning my bacc

on everybody that cares

pushing everybody away

because i think it's all lies

i hate when people say

i know what its like

no you fuccing dont

nobody ever knows

what its like to be

somebody else

nobody ever feels

the pain they're really put thru

ive dreamt for ever

about just finally letting go

but i refuse to give up

its not what i do

so i always make myself

believe its will be okay

when deep deep down

i know it wont, ever

i just want to end it all

end the pain

fake smiles

stupidity

sadness

torment

agony

hurt

life

lies

all

of

it

I was going through some difficult stuff in my life at the time, and I sat down and wrote, that's what came out. I know it's not the best, kinda bad. But tell me what yall think, I want some opinions.

Thanks

XO

Update:

Not really a poem, more of freestyle thoughts.

    I think you're very sincere, and your talent shows through how deep you're able to portray all of your inner self in this piece of writing. It seems to me that you protected yourself wearing some sort of shell or something, so others wouldn't feel bad for what you were going through. Sometimes it's better to fake it than to show the reality.

  • I admire you for not giving up and that you got some comfort in a way, by writing down your true inner feelings to release the torment that you were hiding within. Thank you for sharing since when I was younger, I also too went through some hard times emotionally.

    I hope your life is much better now.

    A dark hole, even the physical geometry of the poem. Hope you climbed out. If writing that piece helped you recover from whatever hurt you were experiencing, it was well worth it.

    Wow, very touching. interior the 2nd stanza, it says, "Asking now why God took their life?" you're able to alter the "their" to "his" to make it grammatically astounding. large activity, quite extreme high quality poem. save writing! and that i believe swoosh, you're able to alter the final 2 strains of the 0.33 stanza.
