The feeling of weakness <br />That catches you unaware <br />When the thought of tomorrow make you sick <br />And the thought of life breaks your sanity <br /> <br />The feeling that makes you hate happiness <br />When you pretend to be it just to please them <br />And every empty word you say <br />Makes you fill with a blinding pain <br /> <br />When every high that cracks your face <br />Is followed by a shattering low <br />And cracks your face all over again <br />With a frown that shakes your world <br /> <br />When every tear that falls <br />On the nameless open book <br />Blurs the words inside your head <br />And smothers the glow deep in your eyes <br /> <br />When no one seems to listen <br />Or notice you at all <br />And you talk some mindless idiocy <br />With a lie to keep them happy <br /> <br />When your heart has no more tears <br />And the warmth has left your cheeks <br />And you collapse from exhaustion <br />Like when you were a child <br /> <br />When you’re so choked up <br />You wont talk to your soul <br />You can't console yourself <br />The way you once did <br /> <br />When you can breathe again <br />When the hysteria’s spent <br />And you curl up alone <br />In a tattered heap <br /> <br />When your head is broken <br />And aching with unhappiness <br />Your head in your palms <br />And cold from the ache <br /> <br />When the hollow shards of painful life <br />Are echoing round your shredded mind <br />Smashing through each blissful thought <br />Once glistening through your eyes <br /> <br />And when the tear shed stops <br />And the eyelids roll in vain <br />Then you entwine your body and sheets <br />And you cry yourself to sleep<br /><br />Perfect Fool<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cry-myself-to-sleep/
