Letting It All Out

by MyEscape   Dec 16, 2007


Broken lyrics, tangled thoughts
Can't seem to finish my sentence
Tired of trying to feel normal
When it's obvious it's this intense

Watery eyes, long lost hours
Trapped inside the minutes of today
Like a prison, like a steel wall
Starting to despise where I stay

Feeling like an overplayed song
Tired of hearing the chorus in my head
I need to write something original
Something not about you instead

The edge of breakdown greets me by name
Knowing my footsteps too well, I fear
I sit on the bench it's prepared for me
To shed those few unwanted tears

And it feels good to vent the way I am
Haven't opened up like that in a while
It only took a million rhymes and verses
To get back what was lost of this smile.

(Okay, so this may not make perfect sense. More just a venting poem, though I honestly feel really good right now. LOL Funny how that works)

    Okay this is my second comment the first one got erased...so this is a little shorter. I thought the 3rd verse was the best, I could relate to it, the 4th verse the worst because of the use of the word cynical didn't make sense. The ryhming seemed to drop off between the 4th and 7th verses, almost like you weren't trying as hard although I thought the idea behind verse 6 was good. The last verse I really liked as well, so 3 and 8 are the winners in my book. :-)
