Poetry

The Hunted

written by: OurSacredHonor

Pent up frustrations
Fucked up relations
Twisted anticipation
That keeps me waiting
So I debate
What I create
And push this deeper inside
Swallow my pride
Each night I cry
Wondering why I'm alive
And it twists me inside out
Fills me with doubt
And leaves me here
To confront my fears
All alone
With no one by my side
I can't run
I can't hide
So I scream on the top of my lungs
Mouth gaping
Praying someone will hear this silent cry for help
I'm a lost soul
A lost cause
Destined to misery
I don't ask for sympathy
I don't deserve it
I just want a friend
On whom I can depend
Until then
I fight my own battles
Win my own wars
Alone in this nightmare
It burns through to the core
Of me
Can't you see?
Everything inside of me?
My walls came crumbling down
Endlessly to the ground
No defenses
Just my senses
Helplessly lying in wait
For somebody to reach out to me
But I know I don't deserve it
I never have and never will
But still
I try in vain
To relieve this pain
In my heart
This mystery
Confusing me
Relentlessly
It follows me
I can't breathe
I can't see
Don't let it kill me...
