The Skies Aren'T So Blue Poem by Amanda Austin

What is wrong with me
What is wrong with you
Why are you acting this way
Why am I feeling like this

Can't stop the pain
Can't avoid the hurt
Can't sort out my confusion
Can't deal with this

When you tell me these things, I try to fight back
When you show me these actions, I try to hold back
Why you've got to be this way, I really don't know
Who you're turning into isn't the man I once knew

When I look up to the heavens, they just don't seem so blue
All this fighting and screaming is taking a toll and me and you
Why are we still struggling just to make it through
When it doesn't feel like there is anything even left to lose
