Omit

By ColdScaredAlone


Accumulate
Can not bleed away your sorrows
Can not protest in silence
Side-trips that last forever
You’ll hear the answer
When you stop asking the question.
Cruel words echo
As kind words fade
Cumulative
Review.
What it must be like
To be the owner
Instead
Of the
Owned
To be controlling
Instead
Of the
Controlled
How can I feel so horrible
If I feel so numb?
Waves of pity
Watch them pass.
Surf them slowly
Soon shall crash.
Oblivious differences
Make uncomfort
Weigh the emotions
On this scale
Balance reason with passion
Fight yourself
So no one else will
If you’re too honest
You’ll begin to shy away.
Full agenda
No time to play
Accumulate
Snowball of emotion
On such a winter day.
Hide
Always hide
Can’t please everyone
So why try
So hard?
Perfect to some
Not to self
Locked box
My heart goes
To whomever
Creates the key
Tangled
In my own web
Of
Self-destruction
Paranoia.
In control
Of me
Drastic
Moodswings
Dictate
Happiness
Cumulative
Review.
Test.
Fail.
Next.

    Wow... that was deep. I liked your switching from lines to single words. It really put emphasis on certain parts.
