Without Rhyme or Reason
Just Another Poem.
A. R. McIntyre
Close you eyes, say goodbye.
I can't remember but I always try.
I hope to forget, but my memory wont fade.
Maybe tomorrow will bring a brighter day.
Blank in my mind,
Can't remember, can't define.
Forgotten memories of a yesteryear.
But when they resurface I'm brought to tears.
Smile like always, never let them see.
Pretend not to care, just let them be.
I swear it never hurt this much before.
I swear that I'm not trembling because of the dark.
I can't stand to feel this way anymore.
Please someone light a spark.
Don't leave me here, or I'll tear down the door.
That leads me to embark
Down a road I can't see, I'm so torn.
Two roads, two paths.
One no easier than the other.
Pick on, choose quick.
Times running out don't look back.
Run fast, as fast as you can.
Never look back, never again.
Close your eyes, hide away.
Even if I can't stand to see another day.
Pick quick, hurry on.
Don't let them see the pain you hold.
Let me fall, oh so hard.
And I'll fall on this paper tarp.
Break though it and I'll fall for naught.
Always trying to remember what I'm taught.
But the black veil hides the memories, no matter how hard I've fought.
Silly child, you can't run.
But it hurts, it burns.
Don't worry, we all have our turns.
But why is mine so long?
I don't know where I belong.
Can't find a way out.
Can't hide my doubt.
But what are you expecting of me?
Just forget, drown in a river of regret.
But it's so dark, so cold.
Never mind it, it will get old
And you wont feel it at all with time.
But for the pain there's no reason or rhyme.
We all suffer so deal with it like everyone else.
Fine, I'll hold my tongue, bite back the tears.
Very good child, cause no one really cares.
Will you always torment me so?
Yes, we will never go.
But why me? Why not them? Don't they deserve it more?
That doesn't matter because it hurts you more.
But I was good and nice, wasn't I?
Yes, but all we care about is seeing you cry.
Help me break from this cage,
I only see in black and white; Never red, blue, or beige.
The pain remains even after the memory fades.
I can't help but to wonder when my mind will finally give way
And how long it will take for everything to go away.
Write everything down into a poem or song,
Yet I can't even find a place I belong.
You'll be alright, you do just fine.
How can you say that when you don't know my lines.
I preform everyday, yet no one sees threw my facade.
Your doing splendid child, keep up the good work.
But Inside I'm crumbling, breaking and falling from the world.
Keep a stiff upper lip, do what your told.
I can feel the scream bubbling in my chest.
Run a long now, but do your best.
But I bite it back and read my lines.
Silly child, you'll do fine.
I can't remember but I always try.
I hope to forget, but my memory wont fade.
Maybe tomorrow will bring a brighter day.
Blank in my mind,
Can't remember, can't define.
Forgotten memories of a yesteryear.
But when they resurface I'm brought to tears.
Smile like always, never let them see.
Pretend not to care, just let them be.
I swear it never hurt this much before.
I swear that I'm not trembling because of the dark.
I can't stand to feel this way anymore.
