I'm tired of living this decayed life <br />Seeming always down I wish I contained the might <br />People come to me full of emotions and venting <br />throwing their problems at me I wish I started repenting <br />running away from my problems isn't what I do best <br />But every living problem is caving in my chest <br />Tormenting my dreams <br />Killing my inner being <br />The pleasures in life <br />bring along harmful measures <br /> <br />My dreams contain my worst fears <br />The flashbacks in which I see the most tears <br />I never wanna lose the spirits around me today <br />These are words I never wish to say <br />Harmful measures have set the mile <br />One thing I wish I had was my bright and happy smile <br />These intangible feelings are no where to be found <br />and when I cannot explain these feelings, I feel like such a hound <br />Such negative pleasures in life <br />have dragged my personal harmful measures for me to cry<br /><br />Sky McCoy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/harmful-measures/
