Motivationless Poem by Melissa Robinson

I just wanna lay in someones arms all night and let them hold me,
not go home to a house of hate and parents who scold me.
But I throw away the best of things,
forget the most important peoples names-
I hide behind the cut out scenes
devoured by a mask of shame.

This is life, its not a game;
it's consumed by lies, deceit and pain.
So smile, take a picture and hang it in a frame
because it could be the last time u see urself that way.

the path u tread may turn to grey;
all ur inutile effort will just waste away…
and when people ask- u will say ur ok,
but ur just pathetic and afraid.

uve become heartless, uve lost grasp of self worth.;
for a mere amount motivation u hopelessly search.
but in ur eyes, lifes purpose now has diminished-
u never imagined that love was supposed to hurt.

so listen when i tell u; its not worth it to let go.
go out and do ur best; go ahead and put on a show.
rows of people will watch
and their criticism may never stop,
so live like no ones watching and it may help u out alot.

silently u cry, 'but by misery I've been shot.! '
well that is no excuse, for u control ur thoughts.
You are only as low as u allow urself be;
but you never fall so hard that its impossible to break free.

i know its harder than it seems;
you can only escape reality in ur dreams.
but just think that one day u won't be able to sleep
because ur to busy having life bring u better things.

so don't listen to the lies,
don't fall for their schemes,
life is what u make it,
just be who u wanna be.
