I hear you, all of you. Talking about me, good and bad, behind my own back. I guess that's okay. Though, The **** you say stays embedded in my brain. Haunts me while I do the things I love, suffocates me. Am I too much? Am I too wrong? I try to be perfect, or the best I can be, for you. And all I get is **** back. That's okay, that's alright. I guess I'll be okay. Act like I'm fine, I'm that happy kid... Everyone wants to be me. At least they think they do. I live under that rock, mind my own business, Be my own person. But being lonely hurts, It brings me sadness, and pain, that I cover up like I'm putting on makeup. But when I take off that cover, Not many people believe what I say. I'm too much without that cover. Maybe I should just live with that cover on. That's okay, That's alright, I guess I will live like that, If it means I'm found. I hear you, all of you. Talking about me, good and bad, behind my own back. I'll be okay, I will be okay...

I hear you...
When you want to defend, You just stand. Waiting for a chance, So you can show, You're worthy. You CAN impress. They talk about you, Make you mad. Don't give them a chance, because they can't impress. They ARE the same. Saying YOU can't, You're NOT worthy, But you can show, You're meant to do this. When you stand, You can benefit. Show them this ISN'T right. Your ANGER becomes their PAIN. You can show your worthy, You can show, Your able to impress. You CAN do this.

I mess up, Over And Over Again. I can't fix it. I say the wrong thing, Make them get mad. Then I feel bad. For days And Days On end. Can't get this feeling gone, Can't get it out of my head. I can't do it right, So why do I try? I should just stay in the shadows, mind my business, and then just be there if needed. Do what they say, So I can't mess up. I try to be my best, But it is only the worst. I try to lead, But apparently, Leading is a bad idea. I get yelled at, for being myself, getting told I'm annoying, And I **** It sticks, but I cover, and I hide, don't let them see, Be the girl they want me to be. But I still mess up. I can't be loud, But can't be quiet either. I Can't Be Me. I have to pretend, To Be Someone I'm Not. Change myself for them. Act differently, Be different, While I suppress my old self. Who wants to stay, But, I can't Be Me.

I'm Sorry
Words have power? My 2 words have more power, than yours? Your hundreds of thousands of words. 2 simple joking words, "shut up" Have more power than all your rumors, That almost ruined my life. Luckily, I found people who care, Unlike you. To pull me out, And show me, How they care, Like you should. But that's fine, I don't need you at all. Words have power? So mine matter more than yours? Your large quantity of words, Under my 2 words. What for? A joke is a joke, but yours wasn't funny. Causes me to lose valuable people to myself, Who doesn't care or talk to me anymore? And now you think I can let you back in. I put on a mask, Act like that's fine. Yeah, you can come back into my life, After you fix what went wrong, make it right. Randomly start talking to me like I'm your best friend, Your 2 faced. And I can see, That no matter what, You'll always be the same. That ***** you always were. Words have power? Little amounts of what I say, Over your thousands of words. It doesn't make sense. How can that work? Math doesn't work like that, Our town doesn't work like that, Our state doesn't work like that, Our country doesn't work like that, Earth doesn't work like that, The universe doesn't work like that. So, make that make sense. Words have power? My 2 words have more power, than yours? Your hundreds of thousands of words. 2 simple joking words, "shut up" Have more power than all your rumors, That almost ruined my life.

Words Have Power
WHY Three letters commanding attention Three letters the bone of contention One syllable bigger than Everest One syllable birthing our interest Questioning forward questioning back Answering tightly answering slack Words that fall silent words that delight Trapdoor to darkness — gateway to light WHY (The New Room: March, 2026)

Listen My feelings I try to express My secrets I slowly Reveal I can be very diverse for my Personality has many layers to Peel You read of my darkness You know of my turbulent Past You know I have accepted the gift My troubles I’ve been able to Cast I’ve written of Romance And I have been comedic Too The best part of it all Is that I get to share it with You But a question has entered my mind And it nags at me from time to Time When you scan through my Stanza’s And my sometimes clever Rhyme So I hesitate to lay it on the line I’m not one for forcing Imposition When you take the time to read the words Do you also take the time to Listen Written By:Charles Kean 03/27/2026

letter in a bottle
The pile of homework, Because I left early, took a day off, to save my mental health. Now it came back, Worse than ever, More stress on me, More **** on my to-do list.
