Repressed Emotions

I was never good enough,

I was never strong enough,

Even through all my fears and pains,

I continued to try,

I struggled to be the best,

But it was never good enough,

Everything I did was a mistake,

Everyone said I was worthless,

That I would never amount to anything,

That I was the scum of the earth,

Those words are burned into my memory,

Even though everyone has left and are gone,

I can still here their voices,

Repeating these words,

But I never did defend myself,

So now I hold all my emotions in,

I don't fight back,

I take these pains,

And I try to hide these feeling,

These feelings of pain and suffering,

There is no need to awaken anymore,

My dreams have been taken,

And have been tossed aside,

I am lost in illusion,

I try to conceal these emotions,

I won't let anyone see my pains,

I won't let anyone see my black heart that has been broken in two,

The love that I have lost,

I don't care anymore,

I don't care about the people around,

The ones that say they are my friends,

All lies,

They all think the same,

I am nothing to them,

If I don't care for them,

Why should they care for me?

This is there thinking,

But maybe I just don't know how to care,

For I was never cared for myself,

I was told to lock it all away,

I was weak if I didn't do this,

I don't know if this is true or not,

But until proven other wise,

I will continue to hide what I feel inside,

I will lock away all that I want to let out,

And I will close my heart to the world,

I won't let anyone hurt me,

No one will ever come close to me,

Again.
