Rollercoaster

Wed, 09/27/2017 - 13:44 -- ymoyao

Eyes closed and blind 

Never seeing the truth behind identity 

Hidden behind lies in order to fit in 

A message on the internet 

Irrelevant to anyone else that might see 

Explaing the differences between who to love 

Sexuality and hope 

Love and support

Eyes open and seeing  

Bright lights that were never there 

Support from everyone that said hello 

Fitting in for the first time without lies 

A mother still blind 

Happiness dimmed to small glows 

Never being able to speak the words 

I like girls as well as boys 

Pills 

Pills 

Pills 

Nothing but pills and psychiatrist visits 

Depression can kill a person they say 

Get out of bed and go outside they say 

A small glow dimmed down 

Will she ever get out of this?

They ask on repeat 

If only i knew too 

Colleges and scholarships 

Pressures and stress

Wrapped up with a little bow 

Identity, depression, school 

Love, sadness, stress 

My life is a rollercoaster 

A ride that I sometimes wish could stop 

But this ride will be in service for years to come 

Everyone on board
