My Struggling Side

jt

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.

        Very good write. Many people write to lose themselves from the real world, even for just a few minutes, it is so important.
