Poetry

Truthfully

written by: GrenadeJumper

I look at myself in the mirror
I can't even force a smile
Maybe I should be alone, just for a while
Sitting back, thinking of the past
Where did all this time go, my life's going by too fast
Reaching out for memories, trying to make them last
I need my friends to be there by my side
I need a little dignity and a little self-pride
I need to get rid of this stress
My life is in shambles, it's a mess
Seriously, I don't know how much more I can take
Just a few more days of this and I'm going to break
I have too much piling on
I need to grab as hard as I can just to hang on
And not loss my grip
And not start to slip
Another day has passed me by
Harder and harder still I try
I sit back and wonder why
My life has been turned around
Everything just happens to bring me down
