» Poem: I Should Know
I Should Know
written by Gistle
04:00 PM 4/15/05
The words ring in my head.
They never go away.
I lay in my bed.
All night and all day.
I feel like dirt.

They're laughing at me.
They taunt my pain.
Why can't they see?
My tears fall like rain.
Words can hurt.

Now I feel angry.
I take it out on others.
They did this to me.
My happiness withers.
My will has been bent.

I point and accuse.
I talk behind people's backs.
I'm laughing at you.
But I can't see the facts.
I'm as bad as them.

And now I am hated.
And now I am by myself.
Have I been fated?
Am I just a toy on a shelf?
What have I done?

I can't believe it.
How could I have been so hateful?
I feel like shit.
My apology is a mouthful.
I've become undone.

I shouldn't have said that to you.
But now I have grown.
Words really hurt.
They do- I should know.
