bored poetry writing

[makemeapromise]

every time i try to focus my mind just shuts itself down
its like i'm running around in circles yet never leaving the ground
i try to quiet the world around so i can stop and think
but nothing seems to fall in place, nothing seems to sink
so i just keep on going on mindlessly obeying
not really paying attention to anything i'm saying
thinking that it will be okay, but knowing that it's not
hoping that they wont find out, that i wont get caught
i have the sense to pretend enough so the show will do its job
but every once and i while i slip, and let them catch a sob
