Take a look at me and tell me <br />Do you see the lies I've been telling <br />Can you see that all along I've been living a lie <br /> <br />I've been saying I'm alright when I'm not <br />When I've been broken and torn apart over and over again <br /> <br />Can you tell that my broken smiles are not real <br />They are fake as fake can be <br />I haven't been honest but I promise I'm okay <br /> <br />Take a picture and it will last longer <br />And look at it for a while <br /> <br />Then tell me do you see all the pain that's pilled up from head to toe <br />Do you see that my heart is shattered and it will never be repaired <br />Take a look at me and see that I'm alright <br /> <br />I'll be just fine on my own <br />With this pain eating me up inside <br />Eating my dark black soul <br /> <br />Feels like I've lost everything I've gained <br />And I want to so bad but I know I must stay away <br /> <br />I must stay away from those scars <br />I can not dare enter that zone again <br />Although it sounds so good and every now and then I hear it calling my name <br /> <br />But I know I will be adding more pain <br />So I must stay strong and stay away from that old addiction <br /> <br />I only wish that I knew what would rid this pain <br />What would make me whole again <br />Oh I must know <br /> <br />And please don't say love <br />I don't ever want to fall <br /> <br />Love isn't for me <br />I know that for sure <br />I just have to know what will make me whole <br /> <br />Because I'm sick and tired of this pain <br />Take it from me <br /> <br />I must become whole one way or another <br />I've got to figure this out <br />Because I know no one will be able to repair me and so I've got to find my way to become whole and away from this pain <br /> <br />May 28,2008 <br />Not the greatest I know...but that's all I've got for now Its been a rough week...<br /><br />ESPN CHICK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-this-pain-away-from-me/
