Pure Misery

Pure Misery

Never do I remember breaking down being this easy…

So much pain, it’s making me dizzy

But the look on her face, and the tears in her eyes

Made it impossible to make her realize

She’s wrong, out of line, and way off base

And she had to go back, back to that place

Throwing the past in my face again

I never wanted to go back to then

Reliving it all, was more than I could take

A nightmare, from which I’ll never wake

 

I’m not a child, and you don’t understand

You’ve pushed me away

You’ll regret this day

Refusing to see what you’re doing to me

Never letting go, never letting me be

Has made my life pure misery

 

An impenetrable wall faces me now

I don’t know why and I don’t know how

I have yet to find a way through

Once again, I don’t know what to do

I’ve faced this wall all of my life

Always hurting, it cuts like a knife

Blocking my way to true happiness and love

No matter how hard I push and shove

 

I’m not a child, and you don’t understand

You’ve pushed me away

You’ll regret this day

Refusing to see what you’re doing to me

Never letting go, never letting me be

Has made my life pure misery

 

A storm rages through every particle of my being

Never letting up, never easy, never leaving

Telling me to run, to get away, to hide

From these foolish rules in which I’m forced to abide

Anything but this, anywhere but here

The only thing stopping me now is fear

Fighting for control over my raining tears

I haven’t felt this much pain in years

Fairness is a place long gone now

Happiness has taken its final bow

 

I’m not a child, and you don’t understand

You’ve pushed me away

You’ll regret this day

Refusing to see what you’re doing to me

Never letting go, never letting me be

Has made my life pure misery

 

I’m searching desperately for a way out

Afraid I’ll be trapped. Ready to scream and shout

I NEED to get out, I’m drowning in this pain

Stop the thunder, stop the wind, and please stop the rain

I cant last much longer, I’ve been here too long

No one ever lets me sing my own song

 

I’m not a child, and you don’t understand

You’ve pushed me away

You’ll regret this day

Refusing to see what you’re doing to me

Never letting go, never letting me be

Has made my life pure misery

 

I’m not a child, I see through the outside

I believed for a while

Because it made you smile

But that was my mistake, you see

Pretending for you, instead of being me

Has made my life pure misery

 

What you don’t realize, what you’ll never know

Is the reason I couldn’t stay, had to go

You took something very important away

My decision, my life, my choice, my way

My mistake, my regret, my everything

Its your belief that I need a ring

Don’t you get it? MINE, not yours to take

Your reasoning is false, faded, and fake

Maybe if you followed your own damn rules

I’d have some respect and stop calling you fools

But I’ve had it with your hypocritical, judgmental views

On anyone who’s values differ from you

Open your mind and your heart, for me

And for one day, see things as I see

Step away from yourselves, and you might notice

I’m justified in every reason I wrote this

 

She’s not a child, we now understand

We pushed her away

We regret that day

Seeing what we did to her was wrong

She let go, left, and moved on

Making our life pure misery

 

She’s not a child, she saw through the outside

We believed for a while

And it made us smile

But that was our mistake and it’s unbearably sad

That we’ve lost the control we never even had

Making our life pure misery

 

Making my life pure misery

 

Why can’t you open your eyes and see?

 

See my misery

Thank you so much. I don't really share my poetry with my friends or family. For some reason, it's just easier to put it out there on this website to see what people who I don't know think about it. I really appreciate it

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
