Climbing Out
I'm not in control of my own life.
I don't control anything that happens to me.
I can't handle myself, nor anyone else.
I can't stop any mistakes I'll make.
I don't think I'll ever feel free...
Again. again. again.
Even when I'm out, the night is mine,
Even when I get away with everything,
I still feel trapped.
Even when everything is going well,
Even when it's warm and rainy,
I still feel strapped..
D

Question after question, I'll ask...
Myself.
Why do I feel like this?
Why am I stuck here?
Why can't I escape?
Why won't it all disappear?
I'll search for answers that'll never be found.
I'll try for things I'll never accomplish.
I'll chase these thoughts around my head..

I don't feel like I'll get better, but I hope.
I don't feel like I'll change, but I want to.
I don't feel like this will work, but I
Have
Nothing
Else...
[to try.]
Sometimes I wonder for hours,
even days,
but now months could pass,
and those same thoughts will remain.
permanently.
Again,
down,
forever,
myself,
to try,
permanently.
I've already hit the bottom,
| but I'm slowly climbing Up
and |
Out.

But thank you! This poem actually has my lowest rating- a 4. I have 4.5 or above on the rest D: lol. I guess this poem is not in everyone's interest. But it was very emotional, so I posted it.
Thanks again, Leilani.
