Falling

by Lyla   Nov 9, 2005


Living in a world of lies
Wishing I would just fall asleep and die
Hoping everyday that it will be my last
Trying to find comfort living in the past
Hated by everyone, Not worth a dime
Living my life should be a horrendous crime
Can't sleep well at night thinking of it all
I have dreams every night where all I do is fall
Falling, Falling not able to awake
Living in this cruel world is my only true mistake
Falling, Falling not wanting it to end
But for now all I can ever do is pretend
Pretend I am happy, Pretend I am smart
Yet I know inside it's tearing me apart
Maybe the only peace I will ever feel
Are those dreams of falling for they seem far too real
Falling and falling without a care in sight
Wondering if leaving this world would truly be right
So I struggle pretending every things OK
Only living for the dreams where I wish I was able to stay

    Hey Lyla,
    guess who it is,
    this poem is pretty good, but I think you should try a free verse poem for once, just rattle on a little bit. Read my poem for me, k, see how you like.
