More Than I Claim To Be;A Poem by C.I'm standing in my the middle Of my faded-yellow bedroom The curtains are closed And the darkness consumes I'm home alone So, no one hears my shouts And no one hears my knuckles hit the wall They wouldn't even know what I am mad about To tell you the truth I'm only angry with one person I'm mad with myself For letting my scars worsen I fall to the ground My head in my hands I see the scars I wish were gone 'cause no one understands I doubt they want to anyway 'Cause i'm nothing entirely special At least, that's what they all say I'm just accidental Never supposed to be But, deep inside I know I'm more than they claim me to be I wish they'd see I feel so entirely alone I feel so invisible Wasting away in a pain unknown To everyone around me The smaller my heart shrinks From all these hurtful words The harder it is to fake a smile And secretly, inside me, I want my shouts to be heard I fall to the ground My head in my hands I see the scars I wish were gone 'cause no one understands I doubt they want to anyway 'Cause i'm nothing entirely special At least, that's what they all say I'm just accidental Never supposed to be But, deep inside I know I'm more than they claim me to be I wish they'd see I hear the hurtful words And I look around to see who spoke I only saw a broken reflection in a mirror And I finally awoke The yellow walls turn to black And I realize what I've done And I wonder how much I had hurt everyone I fall to the ground My head in my hands I see the scars I wish were gone 'Cause no one understands I doubt they want to anyway 'Cause i know I'm nothing entirely special At least, that's what I say I'm just accidental Never supposed to be But, deep inside I know I'm more than I claim to be I wish I could see © 2012 C. |
