Ben Duncan Poems

Every day is always the same
begging to cry, not a tear to be found
aching to scream, not a voice to be had
silently writhing in agony
...

Why do I feel this way?
Lonely even if surrounded
In pain even when relaxed
just waiting for this all to be over
...

Some days are harder than others
some moments worse
smile and lie to most of the world
say it's nothing to worry about to the rest
...

I feel like i'm always living my life in blame
It's always my fault
when I screw up
When I do nothing
...

trapped inside my head
I can see myself breaking down; crying, sobbing,
wishing to be consoled
I can see myself screaming; tearing the world apart
...
