I know I'm not okay.
I know I'm not alright.
I lay in bed staring at the wall,
Waiting for that one night.1
The night when I remember,
The night when I scream.
That one night when I realize,
This isn't a dream.2
It never was a dream.
It's all been real.
And for some reason...
I can't describe how I feel.3
I can't tell you what I want,
Because even I don't know.
I want there to be a better day.
One where my words with correctly flow.4
"Yeah, whatever. You're over reacting."
But does it look that way to you?
Am I over reacting or am I being truthful?
I guess I don't know what to do.5
I can't escape the outside world.
Have you ever had that feeling
The media just lies constantly,
And there's no room for healing.6
There are those people,
Who will talk with you for a while.
Then say goodbye for the night.
But will turn around, and give you a therapeutic smile.7
One that heals your heart,
And puts life in everything.
Give you some good times,
And makes your eyes sing.8
So until then, I lay staring at the wall,
Knowing I'm not alright.
And knowing that I'm not okay.
I'm still waiting on that night.
Title suggestions, anyone?

Oh you know better than to take my ideas, I'm the person who tried to start a club of misanthorpes but then hated all the members.

yea, my "stalkee" (wingedwolf) like this so much that she sent me the link. i can understand why for it was a great flowing poem, but with such a sad sentiment, DARK.

I love this. All of your poems are so nice, and I love reading your poems! Lol. I can relate to this in so many ways, and I'm happy I read this. It's very deep and touching.
Keep up the good work,
