"My Insanity"

(verse 1)
I strive to make you pleased,
even if I'm loosing me.
My heart can break, but I'll go on
'cause if I don’t, I’ll be alone.

(verse2)
Every time you say I failed
my heart bleeds a little more
I try so hard, you still find more.
I just cant stand it anymore


(chorus)
Can't you see , it's killing me.
This perfection can only lead
To my insanity
Can't you see I would die
Just to make you see
Something good in me.

(verse 3)
My soul dies a little more
when you say I could do more.
This internal bleeding is killing me,
can't you see? It leaves a hole in me.

(bridge)
I try so hard, it's not enough.
And It's breaking me apart.
Too many pieces of my heart
to put together now.

(chorus)
Can't you see , it's killing me.
This perfection can only lead
To my insanity
Can't you see I would die
Just to make you see
Something good in me.

(whispered)
Can't you see your killing me
Can I be all that you need?
It’s killing me.
You're killing me.

(chorus)
Can't you see , it's killing me.
This perfection can only lead
To my insanity
Am I trying too hard
Just to make you see
Something good in me?

Author notes

    You're killing me." that is my favorite part of the poem. This piece of poetry is stunning and captivating, truly remarkable. There is so much feeling and emotion pored into each line and every single word; makes you think, I love when poetry makes you think that’s the best part about poetry the thought and feeling lingering in your head after words see now you know you did something right I’m ranting aren’t I? I just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed this write keep up writing well penned literature bravo! You should be proud.

    I don't see anything you can change

    It is a lovely, dark lyric(the best type). I don't see any problem with it, except a bit of meter here and there, but that's just my opinion. Just remember in a song, the lines usually have a constant metric length, otherwise some parts have to be sung faster or slower to fit the music.

    (verse 1)
    I strive to make you pleased,
    even if I'm loosing me.
    My heart can break, but I'll go on
    'cause if I don’t, I’ll be alone.

    (verse2)
    Every time you say I failed
    my heart bleeds a little more
    I try so hard, please I implore
    I just cant stand it anymore

    (chorus)
    Can't you see I would die
    Can't you see , it's killing me.
    Just to make you see
    Something good in me.
    This perfection can only lead
    To my insanity

    My soul dies a little more
    can't you see? It leaves a hole in me.
    when you say I could do more.
    This internal bleeding is killing me,

    It's great. I am not the greatest writer on earth, but I see no places that need improvement. You start making too many changes, pretty soon the entire original idea is lost.

    I would love to hear this song, add a little...different feeling to it. Keep writing, I look forward to reading more!
