"I guess it comes down to simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying." - Andy (Shawshank Redemption)


I know I can breathe and it comes with ease
A sight of you is such a tease and I just wanna please
I can not be freed from this loving deed
Created by creed I can only bleed
From the pain of this rejection
I stare at my reflection
Alone

Caused by my faults there is no hault
And by default I wanna revolt
Beginning to crumble followed by fumbles
I drink til I stumble and only can mumble
And then there it is
The pain of rejection and I stare at my reflection
Alone

When I think they are leaving

The thoughts return only to burn
And I begin to learn that when you yearn
Thoughts will churn with the pain of the past
Causing a vast blast of pain unsurpassed
A pain of rejection
and I stare at my reflection
Alone

Although I’m blessed,  I'm also stressed
And I must confess that I feel like a mess
Terrible thoughts on my mind needing to unwind
I gotta find, get aligned, feeling blind
With this pain of rejection
and I stare at my reflection
Alone

I'm lost sick of getting tossed filled with exhaust.

As I fill with depression my major confession
I'm the only one at this therapy session and I ask the question,
Why am I filled with this aggression with the suggestion
to move on I come upon the struggle of the pain I need to act on
It needs to be gone
This pain of rejection and I stare at my reflection
Alone 

Over 7 billion people in this world today
Some of us pray the pain away

Some hide from the unknown in a world where we're all alone
We attempt to postpone the end game
We attempt to acclaim our own fame
But we all sit in front of a mirror
Staring at our reflection
With this pain of rejection
Alone

Thank you so much! I do listen to Twenty-One pilots as well so it might have influenced me, and thank you for the feedback really!

the only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.

Holy cow that's awesome, way better than I could ever do. I would suggest more punctuation though, I wrote a poem with none and EVERYONE pointed it out. My favorite part is that it feels sort of like...a chant? I think you could say, so rhythmic and smooth how'd you do that. Not my favorite band at all, but it also kinda seemed to remind me of something twenty one pilots would sing. Just me? Mkay. Well I think it's great.
