A Story Untold

By: Tonese Rene Reed

I’m sitting here so silent
so silent I could cry.
I’m hurting deep inside my heart
and I just want to die.
I have no one to talk to
no one who cares.
Maybe I’ll leave this life
somehow, somewhere.
My life is fading fast
I’m turning to the light.
It’s a feeling deep inside
that I don’t want to fight.
I look for a way
to get out of this living hell.
To tell you the truth
it’s a story I don’t want to tell.
My eyes are filled with tears
my head is looking down.
You will never see me cry
you will never hear a sound.
I just want to end this madness
and break out of my misery.
I don’t want to live this life I live
that’s something you should see.
The world hurts me every day
it won’t leave me alone.
Be careful what you say to me
you turn my heart to stone.
You may be the first
the first I might take away.
I warned once before
be careful what you say.
To you I may be laughing
but it’s only to hide my tears.
If you keep on causing me this pain
I will be your only fear.
You have pushed me to the limits
to where I can’t take it anymore.
You will see what you have caused
when you see me dead on the floor.
To you I may need help
to me I need a friend.
I never meant to hurt anyone
but I wanted this pain and madness to end.
I’m looking for an answer
to the questions in my mind.
Why don’t you leave me the hell alone
and stop wasting my time.
I have so much hate inside
and I’m not willing to let it out.
Please just go away
so I don’t have to shout.
You have to understand
That I have feelings too.
I have tears and emotions
just like you.
You don’t even know me
you just know I’m not like you.
I’m just like everyone else
I want to be happy too.
If you want to know a secret
I’ll tell you I hate life.
Just please be nice to me
I don’t want to feel dead
I’d rather feel alive.
Questions and answers
are just a remedy.
It plagues me deep inside
just like an enemy.
Put a smile on my face
and never go away.
If you’re really nice to me
I’m very willing to stay.
