When you made a mistake
That you wish you didn’t make
And you cry at night
Because nothing is right
I’ve been there
From the look in his eyes you know you were wrong
And you want to say sorry all day long
You want to call but you know you won’t
Think you know what you want but you really don’t
I’ve been there
When everything is frosty and cold
The old wish to be young and young feel old
Where no one knows what is true
And the sky is never blue
I’ve been there
Where you drop in the mud
Hands covered in blood
Because you just can’t stand the pain
And tears flood down like the rain
I’ve been there
Where all the trees are completely bare
And the sun won’t rise because nothing is there
There isn’t a heaven in the sky
Because no one is left to die
I’ve been there
Where you never know what to say
But you say it anyway
You can’t stay silent anymore
Take it back to how it was before
I’ve been there
When you see him and feel sad
Because you see what you could have had
You gave him up for some stupid lie
You want him now and you don’t know why
I’ve been there
You hide behind some false skin
Even though you’ll never win
Can’t remember who you are
That person is just too far
I’ve been there
When you look into the future and see the past
Finally realizing that this won’t last
The madness will follow you into your dreams
And cover up your very screams
I’ve been there
Where you try to hide it but you know they know
And your hearts as black as a crying crow
A knife gets sucked into your soul
And you feel like you’re stuck in a black hole
I’ve been there
Where everything is in black and white
And in the darkness there is no light
Tied to a wall, ball and chain
Feeling like your going to go insane
I’ve been there
Pulled in every direction, feeling torn
Wishing you were never born
Until you’re filled with hurt and hate
When it’s finally over it’ll be too late
I’ve been there
When you see
You’re exactly how you’re meant to be
Like a distant star
You know who you are
But I’ve never been there

This is a wonderful piece of poetry. It seems as though your hurting, though, which makes for great poetry from an injured soul. Don't worry. It will all work out.
