We scorn the crazy / We lock them away / When in reality / The entire world is mad / The rest of us are merely in denial / -Me
You laugh When you are hurt Because you don't want to cry It comes so easily You don't need to try So you laugh and laugh Till the pain numbs Now no one takes you seriously Even if they see the bruises and burns They chuckle and say You live and learn This is fine This is what you want As long as you smile No one asks questions So you smile And smile and smile....

Laughter
You insult me To my face On a daily basis But that's okay You diminish my problems Because yours are always more pressing And that's okay You expect me to always comfort you When I break inside That's alright Because your really all I have Without you I Don't think I could have survived You were the one who talked to me first You were the one who wanted me around Even though You still chose others over me And I was always your last choice Throughout these years You've been the only friend I ever really had That's been around For the good and the bad So even though I know Our friendship isn't ideal I'm still so glad it's real

Only One
These hands of mine Are perfectly fine Whether I am clapping or snapping They are perfectly benign Even if they can't draw a straight line as they cut their lifelines They serve me well *when sending them all to hell Even though these hands of mine Are perfectly fine They tend to tremble with excitement Whenever something seems to resemble Blood*

These Hands
A heart is fragile One must be tactile If handled without the utmost care It could break and tear If someone gives you something so precious You can not be careless If you do not reciprocate this You will be remiss As the now broken heart Will forever depart

Fragility
When I say Everything is okay I don't mean it I want you to see And say You are not okay And if I say I am fine Please see through that line I want you to know And say You are not fine And if all of this is denied Just know its all true on the inside

When
More strife..... Great, just what I need in my life Along with this anxiety That mocks my place in society Now only if we could add cruelty Then I will be just fruity I didn't choose my appearance But that doesn't stop their abhorrence I didn't choose my personality To be such an abnormality This pain inside Burns me alive No way out I can't even shout I can only drown As I break down

Just Great....
Waking up crying Hoping to get comfort Only to realize no one's there As you cry yourself to sleep Friends before family Is that what they say? Is that why you always went with them to play? While doing your best to keep me away? Not knowing nor caring you were the only friend and sibling I had? Going through the motions Is what I grew to do It was the only way to cope Loneliness became a familiar feeling While smiles became rare Who I become stems From where I came from What I learned, I know Will still be able to show Promises are made to be broken A phrase I knew through and through When you all proved it true While the only thing I really wanted Was someone to talk to

Alone
Quiet words Still hurt Expectations Can suffocate Too close Too much Too close Too much All at once Can't breathe Can't think Please let me be Burning tears Rolling down shame filled cheeks Can't stop Please stop Can't stop Please   stop It hurts

Pressure
My tears fall down Slowly, Almost purposely, As if to comfort me In their own small way. As if a feather was caressing my cheek And telling me it's okay And in that moment I believe it

Small comforts
Writer's block Can go **** c*** Really why can't I unlock My words that seem to mock All my futile attempts to knock Down this accursed writer's block
