Will It Always Be Like This?

izzyb471

I guess it's like a river flooding its banks

Or a fire burning through a forest

But how do you describe what’s always been there

You could almost say its an anger

But it's deeper, purer than anger

 

It has always been a part of me

Always there right under the surface

I guess I’ve gotten good at pretending 

Because no one ever seems to see

How does everyone go on like normal

Oblivious to the din inside of me

 

Some days I am so sad 

I feel as I could drown the world with my sorrow

Some days I am so angry 

I wish to set everything on fire 

Just to watch everything being pulled down by the flames

 

When you take a look around 

How can you blame me for wanting the world to burn

How can anything ever be called beautiful

In a world so blackened by hate, grief 

With tearstains running down cheeks

 

Is this the way it will always be?

    Painful words . Good expression tho .

    Sorry you feel this way ( it’s not nice to feel such difficult feelings

  • dusk arising

    Maybe everyone is similar to your description behind their facade. But wise enough to conceal it behind a smile.
