Just A Little More
Write a story or poem about a character who is always on a desperate pursuit for more than they have.
Numb Inside (original song)
Note: This is a song I wrote a bit ago, maybe almost two weeks ago. It kind of fit the prompt; I couldn’t think of anything to write. I’ve been struggling a bit mentally recently. Anyways, enjoy!
TW: Emotional abuse, brief su!c!de implication (one line)
Crashing into space
Crashing out of place
Holes all in the walls
Broken free-for-all
Think I’ve gone insane
Not everything’s a laughing game
I didn’t say it was!
You need to pause.
[Chorus]
You just tell lies
Don’t care if it hurts
You say you care
But it means nothing, nothing!
I don’t care anymore
Go ahead & hurt me more
You crossed the line too many times
I’m just numb inside
[End chorus]
He’s the middle, golden child
He’s the one who spoils it all
I’m just in the corner
Forgotten & ignored
You want me to be someone I’m not
But you say I shouldn’t change on the spot
Not for someone I don’t know
…do I know you?
Do you know me
(Chorus)
Is this battle still worth living?
Tell me what I’m not seeing
Tell me what I didn’t do
TELL ME WHAT I MEAN TO YOU
The only face I know is rage
Only voice I know is screaming
Only tell me to behave
Inwardly, I’m seething & scheming
My revenge will be ice cold
Like the phonetics of our last name
This is serious,
Oh, now this is a game?
Really, that’s a shame…
(Chorus)
