Analysis of Running Out of Names
Running Out of Names
Heart wrenched
Hands clenched
Tight throat
Black cloak
Looking out
Window panes
Burning flames
Pitiful shame
Lost games
Gained fame
Lost friends
Chosen end
Dead end
There again
Run away
Don’t say
Forget those
Dark days
Hear the beat
Start to sway
Looking all around
You won’t be found
Hear them pound
Look at the glass above
Shaking from their might
Shaking from your fright
Hug a pillow close at night
You try to shut out the fights
Hide in the open light
Things aren’t right
Music blocks it all out
Numbs me through these bouts
I wouldn’t ever hear their shouts
When did I start to live for the clout?
When did fame become fake
When did I become someone different
Why does it scare me to let go
If you let go, will you fall out of your high tree
My mind it closes
Shuts down all browsers
Sorry I can’t function tonight
I can’t ever when it’s night

About this poem
I am seriously running out of names. I have over 310 pages of poems and it’s hard to find a name I haven’t used before O_O a poem about my coming mental breakdown that I’ve been trying to avoid and act like I’m okay so I can do well in school and life.
