Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All i want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
Every step that i take is another mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
And every second i waste is more than I can take
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
I've
Become so numb
I can?t feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've
Become so numb
I can?t feel you there
I'm Tired of being what you want me to be

Lovin' the Linkin Park song, but are you allowed to upload their lyrics as your own poetry?

This is great, I know exactly how it feels and you've got it down to a T! It's a bit difficult not being able to hear the tune but it sounds excellent in my head so yay!

Stephanie, I liked the repeating theme of "Become so numb". The whole poem emphasized the theme, but that repeated line drove it home all the way. --Robert Barlow
