I've been lying awake at night
I've been hoping that I'm alright
I've been winding myself too tight
Wondering if i will sleep tonight
Never thought things would get like this
Always hoping that they'd work out
Still ingesting the world around
Now I seem to be filled with doubt
I cannot stop this ride
I'm growing cold inside
I shouldn't let it slide
Will sickness be mine
This should not be my weight to bear
Go on acting like I don't care
Stop this high-I wouldn't dare
I have earned and deserve my share
Things like this happen every day
While I'm in there I feel okay
But you say I should get away
Let me go for just one more day
[Chorus x2]
I've got to medicate myself,
I'm not concerned about my health
It covers up what I've been dealt, it seems the only way
I've got to medicate myself, it's been the only thing that's helped
Must cover up what I have felt, it seems the only way
[Chorus x2]
Sickness is mine, sickness is mine, sickness is mine

Sounds like it would make some nice Screamo lyrics. The only thing I see is that you didn't say which verse the chorus is.

Powerful write. Great lyrics, too. I think a lot of people can feel this way sometimes. This reminds me of when I was going through an eating disorder a few years ago which looking back on it, is something I'm not proud of. I also tend to not share my problems a lot of the time with my family like if I'm feeling sad about something I try not to share my sadness with my family so as not to depress or make them concerned. Thanks for sharing this piece. Keep writing.

I know a lot of these feelings
"Go on acting like I don't care." a lot of people do that BUT which is harder -- to act like you don't care or to admit to the feelings you are entitled to as a person? This poem really gets to me because a member of my family is in a bad way right now and I think a lot of what you say is relevant to his situation.
Thank you. -

Well I hope that person figures out what he needs to do and follows it through. It's hard not knowing where your going in life or what you want to do...or even if you care. I hope everything turns out alright for you and yours. And thanks for the comment **smiles shyly**
