When I recite words trite like “it itches, burns, he cheated, I’m sad,”
the lonely frustration isn’t on accurate display.
I’m perceived as a self-pitying undergrad,
no one sees the pain behind her eyes
no one could hear her loud cries
she was alone in a world filled with people, and yet she was still here.
when she smiled; she wanted to frown
when she laughed; she wanted to cry
The strangers walk past the child,
Unknowingly adding to the burden.
Running from the oddity of the child’s sickness,
Making it seem mild
Or attempting to deny it’s existence.
You take the knife and you take the blade
You dig it in and draw some blood
But it’s time to stop, your night is made.
Listen and let the tears flood.
The black clouds swirl overhead,
Angrily moaning and shrieking
As it swirls around, utterly in chaos.
The black waater of the oceam below swirls too,
A vicious vortex, always spiraling down
The nighttime sky consumes;
And but so little light than that shone o'e the moon!
A sudden fright of terror looms,
Crept up from shaddows to halls and rooms.
The STARS, they weep.
In Heavenly keep.
Sometimes Everytime there is a person,
who carries the weight of the world on their shoulders,
