The Feelings of Plummeting

Why does sadness hit so hard? And happiness is like capturing the elusive wildcard? Why is it easy to cry? Why Why are we open to pain? Emotions turn into a game.. It's easy to break But how much can one take? When do we fall To the point we're nothing at all How much do we suffer And use tears as a buffer Even the small things matter They can break a heart.. Make it shatter The feelings hurt sometimes stay And the pain doesn't decay The empty nothingness kills inside Maybe a part of me has died I always question it Was there another bit? The tears are always heavy and hot And I look around at the nothingness I've got I always get choked by air Sitting in the sadness with no one to care But that's life, right? Sit there. Keep out of sight. Hurt feelings and bruises It's not something one chooses But if you cry, then you cry ... Just cover it with a lie The ache will make it's home I didnt think I'd be stuck It's more than bad luck To lie to yourself, say you're happy When you've been feeling so crappy When it infects your soul And you're hollowed whole Then what? You're in a rut The world is more severe More austere Nothing belongs to you Not even those promises people used to do Trust isn't secure No one can make sure The tears you hide Is over the feeling inside That something broke you down And caused your frown It made you cry It had some reason to defy It causes the crinkles in your forehead And the wet tears over your bed It brings the feeling of pain And you wish your blood would drain You wish someone would just ask But no one notices You're begging for help You reach out to the emptiness... Nothing catches you And you fall Fall through every boundary you've ever known You fall through the concrete.. Bang your head .. And just like that.. You're dead.

Qureshi

I am quirky, ever-changing moods. I am a middle child, I love writing poetry, and I guess I'm funny. Poetry is my escape/relief, it keeps me sane. My poems are mostly about sadness, love, life struggles.. so a mix of happy and sad.
