You'll Never See That I'm Not OK (I Promise)

funny how life turns out
turns on you
i'm looking at this empty room
missing someone that i wanted gone
and
i don't know why i act this way
there's something that hasn't
quite
scratched
the surface but i promise it's itching to get out
maybe if i hold it in long enough
someone will feel sorry for me
actually catch my hint that something hurts inside
but you won't, oh i know
it's my fault i act this way please don't think i'm acting out
acting in
don't feel bad for me
i can handle this
i don't know how much longer but i'll only be
a little dead inside when this is all over

    good

    i like it. it manages to be a bit angsty without being overly stereotypical. i really likes this part:

    it's funy how you tend to miss people you wanted gone. life really does turn on you in funny ways. it's part of the sadistic beauty of it. it's a good poem, keep writing. i'll look for more.
