why i dont write poetry
it hurts on the inside, like you dont know
like i wouldnt want you to know
cant talk, cant move, cant breathe
burdened by the words - they escape
they dont help the pain
i cant even understand myself
its so normal, healthy, good
in ways i cant ever see
good is too good, bad too bad
why am i embarrassed just to admit...
why do i think about it at all?
writing brings it to the surface
exposed, obvious, blinding
theres no better way to not feel any better
yet there i go again...
what does it mean when i say anything?
...when i write anything?
what does "i love you" mean?
what does it mean when i talk about pain?
it doesnt matter anymore
it never did matter
it hurts on the inside, like you wouldnt believe
but im not going to tell you any more
you just wouldnt understand
