What do you do when someone says "You're a keeper." And you dont want to be kept by them?

Kept
I am A dancer A writer An artist A musician A creator But if you Wanted To see What I create A dance A story A painting A song I would Refuse Turn Red Stall and Deflect Your attention Because I am Afraid My creations Will let you Judge me Criticize me Hate me Mock me They are A piece of me A thought An emotion A fleeting moment And they are Mine So if I show you I trust you Please don’t betray my trust

Mine
Screaming out into the void of shame and darkness, Hoping someone will hear my call and come and bandage the the wound in my chest from heartbreaks that have happened all too much, for someone to save me when I've told them too many times that I could save myself... Broken stitches and ****** gauze is all I have left to keep my heart from falling out of my chest into the dark hole of my soul, a part of me wanting to grab the scissors that lie a few feet away and just put it out of its misery, but there's the other part that holds on with all the strength it can and hope my heart can find its home.

Wounded.
I listen to the moon as it cries out the only existence of light it can give to the darkened world under it,   I wonder if it feels like no matter how full or big and bright it can get, That it will never hold as much potential as the sun. It sees how no one depends moon light for major solar power, only the suns bright burning rays, The sun outdoes all that the moon can give. The moon stands as those individuals who can feel better when they can open their curtains to the window and see darkness and feel comfort, The moon is the shy person who stays in the shadows because that where they are used to being, in the dark, The moon is the people that wish more people who come out and enjoy the starry night rather than the bright sunny day. I often wondered why i found the moon so comforting and beautiful. Until it hit me that the moon is me.

Moon people
i dont feel like taking a shower, i dont feel like taking a bath, i am just trying everything, to get a happy life back. im sick of all the tears, the depressed smiles, and stress effects, i want to be happy, i want my parents to laugh more than they argue, i want more positivity than negative, i want to be given the happiness us three deserve, maybe life would be easier, if my prayers were heard, i try to not ask for much, i feel as i do, then i blame everything on myself, just so my parents dont have to, i want my dad to like his job and stay awake more than he sleeps, we can sleep when were dead, i want my mom to be stress free, only small worries in her head, i want my parents to be healthy and happy, to enjoy the rest of their lives, because if they split up, a piece of me will die, i stay strong for my mom, who stays strong for everyone, i stay strong for my dad, because his health seems weak, i stay strong for everyone i love and care about, and do the best i can, i just want everyone to be happy, because, things are only "okay" in the end.

Parents
Seal my crushed soul with kisses, Break my heart with words, It's hard to live on without you, Burns with every touch of your fingertips that once gave me chills.

Things i never said:
I love the colors on you, The beautiful blue in your eyes, To the purples on your knee, The brown dirt on your left hand from this afternoon gardening with me, Just because i begged you to, The pink in your cheeks that i love so much, You get so flustered at the smallest things, I love the brown of your hair that changes direction with the wind, The summer bronzing of your skin, Colors i cant describe, You give me a new color everyday, But i am so glad theres one color i never see, and thats gray.

Colors
Since when did a letter grade become more important than my personal health? A burnable piece of paper with letter grades and the same teacher comment repeated, became more important to everyone to know my "knowledge". That isn't knowledge if it's just forcing yourself to burn those words formed into a sentence for the definition of a words prefix and suffix. You barely remember anything because you focus on it for a week or two and then never go over it again. But if I oversleep or miss my bus or ride, or if I fall asleep during class or spend the majority of the year in the nurses office it's my fault. It's my fault to show that "HEY I CAN REMEMBER THINGS LOOK SEE I GOT AN A ON SOMETHING I WILL NEVER USE IN MY LIFE OR WILL EVER HEAR OF UNTIL MY KID IS SITTING NEXT TO ME STRESSED AND WORN OUT AND TIRED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO DO THIS AND I CANT DO A **** THING BECAUSE I DONT REMEMBER **** BUT HEY AT LEAST I PASSED RIGHT?"

I don't feel like taking a shower, I don't feel like taking a bath, I just am trying everything, To get a happy life back. I'm sick of all the tears, The depressed smiles, And stress effects, I want to be happy, I want my parents to laugh more than they argue, I want more positivity than negative, I want to be given the happiness us 3 deserve. Maybe life would be easier, If my prayers were heard, I try to not ask for much, I feel as I do, Then I blame everything on myself, Just so my parents don't have to, I want my dad to like his job and stay awake more than he sleeps, We can sleep when were dead, I want my mom to be stress free, Only small worries in her head, I want my parents to be healthy and happy, To enjoy the rest of their lives, Because if they spilt up, A piece of me will die, I stay strong for my mom, Who stays strong for everyone, I stay strong for my dad, Because his health seems weak, I stay strong for everyone I love and care about, And do the best I can, I just want everyone to be happy, Because, Things are only "okay" in the end.
