once upon a "new" me

reworking of an old poem

#it hurts   #poetry  

i said what i needed to say already.

i hope tomorrow we could at least go back to what we used to.

i hate to be negative like this.

today’s frown looks awful alike from the frown a day ago

“did it hurt? does it still hurt?”

i’ve always tried to explain but there wasnt anyone there to hear out what i had to say

so i gave up, but still tried anyways

hoping maybe you could care about the “real me”

the screams from yesterday

echoed and bounced off the back of today’s me

it feels like i deserved all of this

but who said that?

i cant help but point fingers

and when confronted we try to see who we really are

as so as the years go by

i try not to complain

its miserable and pointless and it only causes disarray

i kept it safe

and just played some games

these feelings are things i’ll forget about, anyways

“does it still hurt?”

“it definetly still hurts”

i pry my mouth but closed it when i realized no one cared for what i had to say

and with this day becoming grey

i place together a symbol of hope

since my karma is still no where obvious or to be found

i’m walking home questioning my morals

maybe if the people around me have no answers

i could bother asking the stars resting in the midnight sky

my tears drowned out the angry screams from yesterdays me

and overflowed oakland city

making it everyones problem too

would you forgive me if you saw my scarlett eyes?

i would hate for everything to start off this way

but everything is just another day

yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday. tomorrow, right now.

it doesnt matter. it’s all the same.

the pain from that “me”, will never go away.

“did it hurt?” “does it hurt right now?”

my mouth is kept shut because i already know what the answer is anyways

with my days forever grey

i still look ahead, always.
