So I had a spark of inspiration like a lighter being put to my head.. Anyway, I decided to write two poems and put them up here.

Suffocation

I feel like I'm suffocating
under the act I must play
I pretend that I love you
but in truth, it went away
I cannot pretend
can't play this make believe
and in the end
I still just have to leave
so maybe I'll just say
what I've been meaning to
this is a good-bye
a farewell from me to you.

Memories

As I watch the young girl
pretending to be happy
but i see in her eyes
that she thinks its to sappy
she's trying to escape
trying to get her life back
because it's the simple love
that she clearly lacks
it pains me to see her
day after day
I wish I could help her
make her doubts go away
I look in her eyes, and I'm surprised at what I see
I see my own problems, I see me.
