Inside Out Poem by Matt Yates

I can’t explain how I’m feeling,
I just don’t know how to find what’s wrong
There’s this emptiness inside of me
And I feel I don’t belong.

I’m turned inside out,
I can’t see myself ‘ne more
I can’t find out
What the hell waiting I’m looking for
I’m trying to find it but they push me back at the walls.

They push me, and they push me and they push me

Leave me alone,
No come a bit closer
Just go away
No come and stay.

My hurt is hurting everyone else
But not as much as me
I can’t find what it is
Or who it is
But I’ll find out even if it kills me.

There is something that is just not right
I can feel it in my bones
My heart is aching and now I’m longing for your touch.

My soul is incomplete.
I have found what I seek.
It’s the love of a family
Like the ones in those shows
Why can I not be with them?

Finding out is just as painful
As not knowing
There’s something still inside of me
That always will sting
It’s not what I don’t know
That hurts me so much.
It’s the fact that I’ll never get
That touch.
