Need Help and Opinions...
I'm going out for a scholarship and it's one where you have to enter in a piece of poetry. I have gone through all of my poems and narrowed it down to two poems. Now I cannot decide which one I should enter in. Both of the poems are under the cut below. Please respond and just tell me which poem you like better and why. Thanks a ton.
Stuck
Stuck inside my own head,
Dying to get out.
I can't do anything to help me,
Not even scream and shout.
The thoughts keep crawling in,
Deeper and deeper they flow.
They have no escaping.
All they do are grow.
I want the torture to end.
I want to make my peace.
No matter how hard I try,
The sadness does not cease.
My life is black and white.
There is no middle ground.
Too many problems pulling me down,
And I cannot come unbound.
Let me free of this agonizing world,
And take away this pain.
People tell me this will make me stronger,
But I do not see the gain.
Let me end my life right here,
And send me on my way.
I can't stand to push one more week,
Or even one more day.
Will this darkness ever end?
Will I ever be free?
All I want more than death
Is to find the real me.
Fine
Looking at someone talking
As the words go through my ears,
My brain seems to ignore
Everything it hears.
Lost in my brain
And trying to be free.
I'm locking myself inside of me
Because there’s so much you can’t see.
Leave me alone
And I insist I am fine.
The emotions are too strong
And I’ll be gone in good time.
This is me
As I grab the knife.
How can I find me
When I want to leave life?
Please leave me alone.
I cannot help me or you.
I insist I'm okay.
I insist this is true.
No need for help.
No need to stand tall.
I'm fine, I'm okay...
Just let me fall.
I'm not lost in this world,
And I know what I’ve craved.
The blood begins to flow,
And finally I can’t be saved.
Keep saying your words
And lecture as you may.
I have tried and tried
And I’m only in your way.
You do not understand
And no, you don't know.
Leave me alone,
And please let me go.
