My Struggling Side

I post poems to hide the pains of living. 

Behind this screen, I can be whoever I want to be, 

And because of that, I choose to be the part of me struggling.

 

Struggling, struggling because of a missing piece.

The piece that has you in it, the piece that needs you.

This pain seems to grow stronger the longer I am without this piece.

 

Some days I wake up, incoherent to the life going on around me,

Because I miss you, I miss us, and it slowly eats me alive. 

I wish for one second in the world that you could see how weak I am without you. 

 

But yes, I do put on a smile, because the world doesn\'t need to see me struggle,

because I can\'t struggle with this forever,

And eventually, the struggling will be gone and the missing piece will be filled.
