I am so dead inside
My secrets are all locked up inside
The flame that burns inside
Has been blown out and died
I can't act like I'm happy
Because that just isnt me
It's a feeling that wont subside
But don't worry I am far from suicide
People tell me everything will be okay
I hope I can start to believe that one day
To everyone I will confide
I am dead inside
My soul is black as night
Without the flame there is no light
If I can't see, I can't fight
Unless somebody can get the flame to ignite
Help show me the way
Before I completely fade away
I am dying mentally and physically
It will take an angel to save me
If my drinking doesn't slow down or stop
My heart surely will stop
If this feeling doesn't take a seat
One day soon my heart will no longer beat
I am too gone for a shrink to help me
I am the only one that can help me
How can you be happy inside?
When you are totally dead inside!
This poem was written one night when I had been feeling dead inside for a few weeks.
