Buried so deeply
the reality within
Given too easily
to lies and sin
Who are you really
Do you even know
Searching for acceptance
Unable to grow
Be what they want
Be who they need
Show them the surface
while inside you bleed
So afraid of judgement
The boundaries are set
Cannot cross the lines
Your soul is your debt
You drown it in drink
Medicate the hurt
Lines of white powder
To keep you alert
Thoughts in the dark
when you're all alone
Have you gone too far
Is your whole life blown
Please open your eyes
Take a good look
so many of us are you
One page in a book

Aah, answering and asking the age old questions I see.
You stick to a rhythm here that sort of give this poem a manic feel. Well done.
Loved the line: "medicate the hurt". There is a whole world behind that line. -

wow
please please please share your other works, I'm glad you have an account on ap now. You need to post anything else you've written. It will entrap me in interest, I promise. I always love reading others works, especially when it's someone I know personally, it give;s me an insight into your world. It's ironic that I've heard you tell me "one page in a book." Yes, I do pay attention to what you say even though occasionally I play dumb.
