As I Slip From Life's Grips

by sami   Jan 9, 2006


I don't even remember
How life should be
I've been confused so long
That it's blinding me

I try to be happy
But it's only a mask
It's become so hard
That it's a tiring task

I let depression take over
And people pester
But all the anger built up
Is starting to fester

They look at me funny
They won't leave me alone
I hear their silent whispers
In a monotonous tone

"Just leave me alone
I'm perfectly fine"
But they don't hear me
As I'm slowly dying

Everyday it cuts me
And rips out my heart
It sticks right through me
Like an imaginary dart

But that smile, like glue
Sticks to my lips
Nobody notices
As I slip from life's grips

    Excellent rhyme scheme, nice flow.And filled with such meaning and emotion.We all tend to wear a mask, put on a front of who we think we are or who we think others think we should be.But beware, for given time, the mask becomes the face itself.Who you are or want to be comes from the changes within, and you have the power to do that.
