Why is it so hard for me to do things right
Everyday seems like a fight
Maybe I missed a step along the way
Yet now I am the one who has to pay
All these words that aren't spoken
Burn a tremendous hole in my scarred mind
Leaving me to find my way back to the kind

When happiness is hard to find
I write these words that can't be defined
Let them flow with a steady rhyme
As long as I am not committing a crime

No one can judge me hear
This is where I come in fear
Grabbing a pen in hand
And paper in the other
Smothering the page with words of pain
Letting out deep sorrow that was gained

All these words that aren't let out
Burn a tremendous hole in my scarred mind
Leaving me to find my way back to the kind
Or leaving me with this poem
Of drenched sorrow
Scared of tomorrow
I smother this page with words of pain
