You never did give me a chance to be beautiful
I know I could have been something great
It not just you, it is everyone
making my heart feel heavy,
Dead Weight
I just can’t deal anymore
I feel so broken, useless inside
Can’t you see I’m walking on one leg
Standing up on pure
Pride?
Why can't you see my sorrow
The heavy metal in my eyes?
Don't you know I'm screaming?
Unbalanced and in need of someone
Kind?
No worries though
I expect nothing anymore
I find it seems you don't care
And neither does the
World.
It is just a dull kind of ache now
One that throbs and burns
And on occasion I can even pretend
That it really doesn't
Hurt.
I tell myself to stop my wishing
my squandering of hope
But I can't stop now
This shit is
Dope.
There's nothing to do now
Nothing more to say
I shield my eyes against the sun
As I watch you walk
Away.

It is really personal obviously, and comes from vented emotions. So yeah, enjoy.

Very nice, I like the format that you use with the single thoughts at the end of lines... the only line that is awkward is this shit is dope, because if something is dope it usually means thats something good- the term is a tad outdated. Nonetheless, i feel the emotion in your poetry, you write well.
