Dry Penniless Thoughts

Niki

True cries are the ones you don't let out 

My eyes are dry 

But my tears are many 

I'd give you a thought 

If I had a penny 

I'd tell you a lie that isn't mine 

I've fed my flesh 

Instead of my mind 

I've tried to be humble 

But I'm not kind 

I've tried my best but 

You've turned me blind 

Don't you ever think that I've had enough?

That I've wanted out?

That I'd give you a reason 

To hear me shout 

Shall I swallow the medicine of joy 

To mask my reality?

To change my flow?

You're only great because you're 

Misunderstood 

No one understands you 

No one ever could…

What's changed now? 

Nothing so far

Its only a matter of time

Before I am hit by that car

    A poem of pain that can not be shown and strength that must be shown in a world where there is a loss of trust and resultant misunderstanding. Very nice
