A poem by Sam Cooke
secrecy and lies
and hatred and lies
what is up
what the fuck is up with my mind
out my window i see the whole world
and everything means the whole world
and my world means nothing
and i can’t communicate it
i sound disturbed.
little shakes little blinks little nods of the head
and ‘they hate me they hate me’ ‘they never even cared’
how do i purge it
how can i rid it
the black hole in my self
‘pills’ll kill it kid’
okay
…
?
but
that doesn’t stop my
bad decisions hurtful habits
i can’t stop asking why
can’t stop getting high
wont’ read replies
wont say goodbye; it means too much
pulling my hair
I keep going back
touching her thigh
lies lies lies
can’t even cry
when will this end when can I
i wont i cant i shouldn’t deny
its how i get by
if this counts
through secrecy and lies
