I used to run once, now I just walk, I used to care once, I doubt I ever will. I used to smile once I still smile... Maybe I'm no longer the person you used to know You'd think I'd have known better than to listen to people. But I never said that I knew myself And my body is a cage With no way out. I'd like to leave Please Yet my thoughts are restrained by my skin. I'm always tearing and ripping and scratching at it. I just keeps growing back.

Once
Have you ever heard? of the trusty old nerd? He worked all day long, Nothing went wrong But without a friend, things come to an end Things needed to change, At least that he could arrange. He varied his looks, ditched his books Changed his words, forgot about surds. Tried a different crowd though they could get quite loud. Cut his hair though few were aware Desperately trying to keep up the fight. But nobody cared So he disappeared...

A nerd
As I write this right here, right now, Tears are flowing down my face. I don't mean, to sound overdramatic, but sometimes, all that unpredictability it can be extremely overwhelming Control is just an illusion the world spirals in and out of focus. I've done something I regret I am so sorry This is all my fault.

Tears
What comes to mind when we think of weapons? A knife? A gun? A bomb? We've got idiots firing missiles at each other left and right, They seem to have forgotten what the real weapons are: Words. Sure I bet you're wondering. how much damage can a word do? A lot actually... Forged inside the mind, Perfected by the brain, Tipped with emotion and Sharpened by the tongue Fired from the mouth. I'm not saying all words are weapons, some are soft and gentle, they should be treasured, they help you to see what little good is left in this world. But I am telling you now, there are words in existence, that tear you apart, like wrapping paper, hoping for a surprise. Luckily for me, there's not much left. It takes a minute to make someone's day And a single word to destroy someone's life.

Weapons
My eyes snap open: I am walking not by choice for I am weighted down it lurks behind me every second of every day. People stare and goggle at me tongues throw knives "Why are you so strange?" some miss entirely "Why can't you be normal?" others hit home. Doubt is constantly, relentlessly, gnawing at my brain How? Why? When? Too many questions What if all I ever do, when light recedes Is stare up at the ceiling And drown in the past When I think I've come up for air I find a crashing wave of nightmares That shoves me further down. I do not understand I lack perfect vision Yet it is not I that cannot see clearly Even when the trees ***** at my eyes like needles Nothing stops the pain no matter how hard I try I cannot escape No matter how hard I try No matter how far I get. I end up Closer than ever before One day I will be too tired to keep going. It will consume me. And I will be lost. Forever. I Am Sorry

Clarity
I sit alone in the Sun its rays pass through me I am transparent. I feel people's eyes on me every day but to them I am glass they see nothing but my smile don't let it end there. Maybe we should shed some light on the situation things happen people talk and everything goes to ****

Sunlight
I don't get vision Yeah Sure I've studied science too Light through pupil Image flipped Produced on retina But here's the thing? I don't see the light I see nothing but darkness There is nothing ahead except the Void Nothingness.

Sight
Hey. Hi. Hello. I am not Okay. I want to disappear. I look at myself in the mirror or I struggle to the way people find it hard to look at mistakes There's the urge to erase, to leave no marks or traces behind. While the world continues to revolve. Without. Me.

Sad
Let's talk about skin... Is it?.. a part of my body? Or more than that? All a matter of Interpretation. Some people think of skin as Fragile and easily scarred Like mine. Wrapping paper that decorates your heart and Soul. There are some with skin So Tough: It is impossible to leave marks I yearn for such skin where the impressions of cruelty are unable to stick to stay to ravage How much more damage can my skin sustain? Before it yields and I spill out. All over the Cold Hard Floor.

Skin
Despite what most people think. You can be dead while alive. Yes I know, crazy right? Wrong. In all honesty, it doesn't happen to everyone. In fact, most don't even know. Here's my account: It started slowly. I was fine. Something happened. I got hurt. I was scarred. Things didn't get better. I got worse. Then things started dying Inside. Where I couldn't see. Soon enough, things meant nothing. Heart Head Skin Blood Thoughts It's so easy to pretend.
