To show

Eveyone was always so worried
So stuck in reality
That I wantd to show them

Another world
Away from the tests
With no deadlines
Or grades to be handed out

Another world that they could escape to

Just like me

Because there are so many
Universes
Galaxies
Dimensions
Swirling and forming in my head
Begging to be seen
By more then me

To feel

When reality is pushing in
And anxiety is twisting my stomach in knots
And maybe there are tears in my eyes
Because sometimes life isn't fair

I can write

I can take all these feelings
All this hurt
All this fear
All this sadness

And I can put it on this paper

And suddenly I can breathe again
The bottle inside me isn't so full anymore
And the smile on my face isn't as broken

But all I really want is

To be heard

These words
On this paper
Have no consequence

I can yell them
I can scream them
I could whisper them

But as long as they stay on this paper
They can't hurt anyone

No one will get mad at me for them
They won't yell at me
They won't look so sad
No one has to hear the words they don't want to hear
No one has to worry

Once these words are on paper
I can put them out there
And they can be seen
They can be read
They can be heard
Or they can be ignored

But there is always the chance
That someone saw them
And they heard
Just what they needed to keep going
Or to make them feel
That little bit less lonely
Because now they know
Someone out there feels like they do
