A Cold Numbness

I keep this feeling inside of me, I dont know why, I just do
Its so personal I don't want to share it, not even with you.

It's memories that cloud my mind
that make me the way I am
Somedays I can barely get up because
you were an addiciton,
and
   screaming for me to take a dose of you again.
   Screaming a desperate desire.
Im poisoned with the past and it haunts every little thing I do.
Nowadays, even though It's not in my veins, a small amount will
                         always stain them.

The past is not what I truly want,
I want a new beginning.
It's just an addiction, a simple but complex problem.

My soul has been damaged and repair is
a thought, a hope, a dream.

I hate who I am, I dont want to be me.
I feel solitary and alone, although I have all the support in the world.
Nobody really cares, its themselves who matter most.

I can't do my best, It just feels wrong.

I know who I am and I feel so wrong.

I feel broken, and sad, and I want a better day.

Why wont this feeling just go away.
Im tainted in every way, I wish to feel differently.
It's like a cold numbness,
                         like a chill to the bone.
I think cold thoughts towards the people I love,
   I feel as though I myself am a burden.

Its a sick deep whole in my stomach,
like something is tearing apart making the whole bigger and bigger.
With every tear,
It is clawing,
scratching inside of me,
trying to get out.
I want to get out of my head, I need to.

Author notes

Its not able to be explained. This is written on the exact way I felt at the time. It was simply, a bad day.

    It would make this poem easier to read if you broke up some of your lines. I would show you but I don't want to offend you. You might even have more people read it. But it does seem long in the way you have it formatted.

    But over all I like the poem, its full of emotion, and sadness.
