People say
“Work harder!”
“Do your best!”
“Stop being so lazy!”
“Just do your work right!”
Why does it take me so long to get this done?
what is wrong with me sir?
“You have dyslexia.”
Taking the first step can be difficult
Overcoming fear is no easy task
All I could think was how nervous I was
Always hiding behind my own emotional mask
But I needed to know what they thought
The disappearance of many souls
left the past year with feelings of dread.
Will the pain buried deep within cease
or will this emptiness that I have never end?
Wandering through a field of wildflowers
Love
A word everyone uses, but no one understands what it truly means.
Either it brings tears of joy, or leaves you in a hopeless fantasy.
I have wondered and wondered what being in love may feel like.
There's a gun in my face
As I try to figure out how I got to this place.
I wonder if it was for wearing a hoodie and having a bag of skittles,
Or was it just for being innocent and little.
The glow and look in your eye.
A shock of excitement from your smile.
Spread of warmth from those delicate hands
Maybe even a stride in your walk
As I walked on a busy street,
Side by side with random people
Seeing variety of souls when eyes meet
I see joy, love, hatred and trouble
Across the street I see an old lady
To all wounds of the heart,
Time is the antidote.
Designed like a coat
Soothing the pain as it impart
It is nonpareil
It understands what you want
As time acts more than a confidant
Judgemental, brutal, fierce.
Words into your feelings pierce.
Laughter, anger, hurt.
People make you believe your dirt.
You overcome, try hard to fit in.
Being yourself isn't a sin.
The weight of your anger,
Turned on me, a total stranger.
I haven't done wrong,
You just wanted to feel strong.
I see through you,
This isn't something you want to do.
I see the hurt inside,
I'm going for the top
I got it on lock
Its no crock
I'm sturdy as a rock
That will never crumble like a stock
This is why I have a flock
They would follow me around any block
So don't be in shock
Cut your hair boy,
Why are you bald.. you are a girl.
You do not meet expections,
but it isn't you, it is just the world...
Yes hunny it is ugly.
I am not going to explain the scars on my wrist
Or size of my waist to the ratio of my hips.
I’m not going to apologize for the way my ribs protrude
Hey, did you see that girl today?
You know the one I’m talking about.
What was she wearing this time?
Did she try to talk to you?
Just breathe in and out and again.This smog that clouds our mind-placing us in the realm of Negativity-will pass.
"Why me?"
She sits in the corner of her room
Crying and
Slowly dying
"Is it even worth it?"
Should she end it?
Get it out;
It won't matter.
No one will notice.
You'll just do it once
Right?
No harm in that.
You can easily hide it.
Go on...
Do it!
.....I dare you.
You don't have to let them take you down.
You don't have to let them turn your smile into a frown.
The first time it happened I was lost;Eyes closed wondering through the woods of my mind and running into trees I was young and a child and trying to find who I was.
Peel back the layersand look inside;
deep in the abyss
you will find.
A little spark
a lovely note;
some most have
but others hope.
When all that's left
When u look at me what do you see? It’ll be better if u picture me with your eyes closed. Without the accessories and nice clothes. Ignore the nakedness of my worn body and look into my soul. And what do you see?
Help up in her room,
No more time for tears,
Another fifth gone,
But it won’t numb her fears,
The words they said,
Even in the silence it’s all she hears.
If the world was my classroom
And a girl was my student
I'd tell her she is a leaf,
Ever changing
Part of different colors and race
Ever moving
With casual grace
The trees may shake
Do I look hot?
Doesn’t matter, I’m Late
Shit, I forgot
To watch my weight
I tried my best
I got a 58
I failed that test
So I guess I just ate
Don’t think about it
Sometimes you just want to get away.
Get away from the world.
Get away from everything.
Get away from people; get away from the words they say
Get away from every sound, every noise, and every vowel holding you back
It feels like a perfect day
To not care what they all say
They’re just full of envy
They’re just jealous of me
Maybe that’s vain but I don’t care
I’m just throwing that out there
You know that girl who's always smiling?
The one that laughs at everyone's jokes?
Can you tell on the inside she is dying?
A pain that even Hell can't invoke.
It is because she is different.
Across every sea, someone is finding that one that's meant to be.
Across the night's dark skies, some little girl is wiping her eyes.
Because she's a victim of a broken promise.
Pain you're the dark, grey, cloud that covers the sun, and what takes light away All that you have left me with is this cold, bare, lonely darkness You're the one who causes all of my suffering You're the cause of the river I have created with all
I looked up to the sky
sweat drops
heavy breathing am I
heart stops
I can't believe
coming our way
what I see
TROUBLE
RUN
or do we stand
my legs are weak
leash in hand
