His words keep replaying in my head.
A broken record I wish I could lay to rest.
All these things.
All these memories.
If I could take this away
I would.
If I could make things right
I would.
Sometimes I think of all these things.
Sometimes I hate myself for
Every wrong choice.
Every bad move.
Every mistake
Every word
Thats caused pain.
Its a never ending circle.
A story thats just beginning.
Nothing has any meaning.
Nothing is right.
In a world where nothing makes sense.
Everything is hate and theres nothing to appreciate.
This worlds gone cold
And your lies are getting old.
Time for some fun.
Time to take a line
And fly high.
Take a blade
And start to cry.
Take a drink
until the bottles dry.
Hide everything away.
And pray to god no ones gonna notice.
At least not today.

i suggest "anything to get away" for a title because that seems to be the overall theme--trying to escape everything that pains you and causes you confusion since nothing can be done to fix it.
feeling powerless, you try to relieve it by forgetting, experimenting, etc. The world has lost its clarity and charm for you and it's easier to believe that nothing means anything than to try to make the problems fit into the perfect idea you had formulated as a child; then you can abandon yourself to doing whatever it takes to forget; by keeping yourself busy and/or under the influence of something, you seek to drown out that record playing on repeat in your head. and if you disguise all of this in the name of fun, you can hide the suffering you are going through.
the imagery is great, it perfectly conveys the desperation you feel in this situation. i'm a fan of writing in this form too: the fragmentory phrases reflect the way that thoughts go through your head; it is like a window into how you are feeling broken and realizing that the illusions the world creates is not reality for you. it's kind of like purging too--all of these words are pouring out as if to find relief and purification in their escape from inside of you. in this way, your poem is itself something you do to get away from your pain.

3 years. I haven't forgotten. I can't even if i want to. I love him. I miss him. Things change over time. Time changes things. But no matter how much time will past...I will never forget him.

also i appreciate your honesty about the time you spend on your poems. i think they're better that way. their very spontaneity creates a more accurate presentation of what you feel. even if you don't know what it means when you write it, you will some time discover that it makes perfect sense when you look back on it. whatever you think 'sounds good' is the most honest portrayal of yourself and your feelings.
so i guess i'm saying i definitely don't think you're fake or anything like that!
