My mind is trying to lose itself.
I'm so lost and confused.
I don't want want to break his heart,
but I need us to be apart.
I don't want to answer my phone.
Just leave me alone.
Don't want his "I Love You" sentiments.
Don't want his never-ending compliments.
He's always right there,
but I can't make myself care.
I'm hanging on by a string,
then of course my phone rings.
I know who's on the line.
He says, "you'll always be mine."
He won't leave me alone,
and there's fear in his tone.
He knows something is wrong.
I know now it won't be long.
He just won't take the hint,
but my love is not worth a cent.
I just need to get away.
Can I last another day?
I just long to be free.
He's smothering me.
I just want to see.
I need to find me
somewhere out there, or here in my head.
Yet hurting him I just can't help but dread.
I love him enough not to leave him alone,
but i know in my heart that he'll never be my home.
It's all up to me.
I will make myself free.
I'm not running away,
but I need a new day,
and I need a new night,
so I will make things right.
I know it won't be long.
I'll just have to be strong.
I will find my new day.
I will get away.
I will find my new night.
I will make everything right.
My mind will find itself.


The author's comments:
I wrote this poem during one of the many physics classes I have been totally lost and confused in. Of course, it would probably help if i quit writing and payed attention. Anyway, I was in a situation where my boyfriend really loved me, and I didn't love him back. However, I didn't want to break his heart, so I was staying with him, and becoming miserable. Writing this poem gave me the guts to break up with him later that day, and we are both much happier now because of it. So, in the end, I guess physics is useful for something.
