I Can See My Life From Here Poem by Paige Nielsen

I can see my life from here
So far, far away
Watching as everything I hold dear
Just blows away
Every day is the same old stuff
And every day I pray
I’ll have less misses than hits
Wash my filth away

I’m an angry parody of myself
And it hurts to say
I hate you

Distorted faces all around
My burden is a thorny black crown
Collapsing is what I do best
So follow me down
Or else leave me alone

A reflection disappoints
It hurts to cry
Over and over till the words blur together
So distant, but not numb

All the pain and agony
Remains to decay
Take me away
Take me away

I can see my life from here
Not like what I dreamed
Not like what it seemed
I can see my life from here
I can see my life from here
I can see my life from here
