Outside Looking In Poem by brooke dietz

im on the outside looking in
i just sit back and watch
as drama, love, happiness, pain, and reality unfolds

its better for me right now to be on the outside
i need the break
even though i can still get hurt

theres less of a chance if you just sit back and watch

but have you ever seen someone make the same exact mistakes that you did

and knew they were gonna get their heart broken? ?
well i have and i tried to stop it beacuse i didnt want her
to feel the same kind of pain i have

no one deserves that
people will say that they like pain
but that only beacuse they havent felt real pain
genuine heart break

the kind that makes you just want to sleep
the kind that makes you cry everyday
the kind that prompts you yo do something you never thought you would
its the kind that when your seen in public
you have that fake smile
but on the inside your dying

in reality your breaking down and no one can see that
beacuse you wont let them

even though im on the outside looking in right now
im hoping one day ill be on the inside
