Take Me Away Poem by Courtney Anders

Take Me Away

What have I done? Why have you burdened me? ,
We barely speak or look upon each other like a waste to see
Did I say something to anger you or hurt your heart? ,
Seems like I’m losing you, like we’re drifting apart

Take me away if I’m not wanted, if I’m just a worthless puppet,
A broken mirror, a faded fire not even lit
Take me away, please just end my suffering, and let me be,
Because I’m questioning my strength, and if I’m me
Who am I, who are we? If we don’t even speak,
What happened? Did I break a secret that I was meant to keep?
Please just Take me Away, and tell me if I’m wrong? ,
Cause my day is dead, and I’m unsure if I’m still strong

As I go through my life and my heart begins to crumble,
The pain shall remain, when I step forward, I stumble
Have I angered you or broken your heart? ,
I’m lost and alone inside, as we drift apart

Take me Away, I’m here without a purpose in my life,
A shattered reflection, beholding nothing but lies
Take me Away God; I have nothing left to give,
I’m weak inside, without the strength to live
Where is my place in this world if not with her, the angel of my life?
I refuse to go on if I’m not truly alive
Please just Take me Away, let me see the light,
Because deep down inside, I’m unsure of my life

You need a heart? , rip mine out and take it away,
You need a soul? , burn mine and take it away
You need sight? , take my eyes, stab them, and take them away,
You need a life? , take mine, I have nothing left, so take me away.
