Analysis of No name
I am falling to pieces falling apart
Yet you say it’s an art
Don’t lie to me
You refuse to see
I’m trying to show
Because I thought you would know
I am fallin down, but don’t pick me up
I’m brushing off the dust
Making a sculpture
I laugh when you say I’m pure
Why can’t anybody see
I’m never truly happy
Believing the lies
Why can’t I cry
Why do I need to hide
I look to the sky
I’m lost trying to find the way
Trying to see when we crossed paths again
Trying to map where I began
I don’t really know
Instead you ignore, man I’m kinda bored
Why do you have chores, what are friends even for
Losing control, nah it’s not a joke
You treat it like one, haha a gun
Funny, ya see
Why are you looking at me
Ha I got your attention thanks
Cruising down the banks of my river. But I forgot to tell you, I can’t swim. I can’t seem to win.
I can’t seem to do a thing
Maybe because I’m a human being
But clearly you aren’t
You’re so perfect
Totally fine, you act like I can’t see in between the lines Just stop the lies
I can see the distance
I can see the fear
I’ll step away, act like I wasn’t even here
I’ll leave you be, but I pray you’ll see
How much longer can I last, much much longer than in the past
I’m wearing a cast but I never heal
Why did you steal my heart
My life, my soul, why can’t I survive!?
Covered in blankets I like to hide
I like to write maybe I scared you
But I like to cry at night
Is that alright
Because I’m not alright
I’m not alright
I put up a fight
I hide from the light
I split right in two
Fall into them or into you
I cannot pick and choose
So do you got me
Or will you lose your grip on my arm will you let me
Drown, man I’d die with a frown
Why’d you let me down, you said you’d never let me down
Poems from my phone
You only leave me alone
Boom there I go
Watch the words flow
Tears never come
Seriously, I am so done
Being the one
Who holds the world
I don’t give a shout
Just LET ME OUT
Told you I was falling soon
You thought it would be a little boom
Til you heard the crash
Now you’re looking back
Yeah maybe she told me
She lost the old me
Maybe she told me she was falling to the edge
Looking over the ledge
Yeah now I can see
Why you’re not happy
Oh so now it’s all clear
You’re believing my fears
Well I’m not done
I’ve just begun
You see, I have yet to cry
And I’ll never leave until I die
I always try
But maybe it’s too thick of a disguise
Look me in the eyes
How could you leave me
How could you forget
How could you be silent
How did you lose focus
No one really knows us
No one really notices
I cannot stop this I hope you know
That I never mean to blow
I try not to let it show or let it go
I’m sorry I didn’t keep it in
I’m sorry I didn’t keep it under covers
I never meant to show it
No one really knows yet
Please just listen, it was a mistake
Nah it’s too late
Pounding on myself at night
How couldn’t I realize
That wouldn’t make me alright
Why did I have to fight
Next time shut your mouth
Next time don’t say it aloud
Next time keep it quiet
Next time just keep it silent
No one wants to hear
Nobody cares
You waste their time
You waste their air
So hold it in don’t let it out
You are just a nuisance through these bouts
Don’t voice the doubts
Don’t ever shout
You only hurt the ones you love
Stupid little girl she died in the flood
She thought she could swim
She thought she could win
But in the battle against the world
She thought she had learned
But there she is, choked from the tears
Drowned by her fears
Give her CPR
Next time take it far
Make her survive til she hides her pain
Even when she falls apart her blood won’t stain
We’ll take it out of her
We’ll train a better girl
She’ll be stronger and she won’t lose
But she won’t be able to choose

About this poem
The actual ‘poem’ (really just a bunch of thoughts and rhymes that flew through my head that I rapidly typed) that I wrote during my breakdown
