Break away I guess I'll call it....

[*Jamison*]

Frustration building up.
I swallow my anger.
No one wants to see me fall.
Not allowed to break down.
Not allowed to cry.
I just can't live like this.
Give me something new.
Break me away from all of this pain.
Make my life worth living.
Let me cry on your shoulder.
I'm so sad.
Can't you see?
The pain in my eyes,
Tearing my heart apart.
Break me away from all of this pain.
The sad days are here.
Fresh in my mind.
I don't see what others see through my eyes.
Everything's scarred with lies,
Pain.
No more trust.
It's been taken away.
But no one understands.
If only you'd take the time to learn.
If only you'd see I'm falling,
Comfortably numb.
I can't see anymore.
I can't hear what is said.
I can't think,
My mind clouded with doubt,
Hurt.
My heart decaying of hatred.
My life:
A smokey, dark black light
Of nothing.
I'm at the bottom,
Covered in dirt,
Filthy lies attracted to me.
Adhere to my heart,
Never forgotten.
I look up at you.
You,
Covered with mistrust.
Surrounded by bright, white lights.
You'll never save me.
Watch me die,
In front of your eyes.
No one can stop the pain.
The hurt, lies, deceit, filth, dirt, decay.
I can't trust you.
I can't break away from the pain.

Wow, sad but beautiful...who is the 'you' in the poem? A general 'you' or is it a specific person? It could be interpreted either way, which is one of the finer aspects of the poem...
THANK YOU for trusting us enough to share this...

In most of the poem, it was a general "you", but there were a couple things that pertain to a specific person...I was just sitting at work Friday night. That night just got my mind wandering and thinking of my situation currently. Poured my heart over that paper.
