I'm Sick

by Vanessa Lea   Jan 17, 2007


I'm sick of being sad
I'm sick of this place
I'm sick of my body
I'm sick of my face

I'm sick of feeling lost
While I'm searching for direction
I'm sick of wandering through this life
Just trying to achieve perfection

I'm fighting a losing battle
So why do I fight at all
Why do I pull myself up
When I'm only going to fall

I'm sick of being sad
I'm sick of this place
I'm sick of my body
I'm sick of my face

I'm sick of despair
And of everything I feel
I'm sick of my emotions
I wish this wasn't real

I don't know how to beat this
But I'm not ready to let go
How can I tell you what is wrong
When I simply do not know

I'm sick of being sad
I'm sick of this place
I'm sick of my body
I'm sick of my face

I'm sick of not knowing
I'm always stuck in the dark
I'm sick of being confused
Always playing the wrong part

I don't know where I've been
But I couldn't really care
I don't know where I'm going
I have no idea how to get there

I'm sick of being sad
I'm sick of this place
I'm sick of my body
I'm sick of my face

I'm sick of my petty thoughts
And my shallow lies
I'm sick of pretending
And hiding my cries

I'm not this person
This person isn't me
I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE

I'm sick of being sad
I'm sick of this place
I'm sick of my body
I'm sick of my face

    I love this poem, and echo it, and am also so sad because i know you and wish this isn't what you felt.
