when they insult you
smile back
when they hurt you
smile back
they don’t matter
you matter
so smile back
you will show them all
what you are made of

struggling
seething
crying
can I?
well, yeah
of course
no one has a monopoly.
not in problems.
not in sadness.
not in anger.
but when you tell me
"I'm proud
you're handling this so well,
you don't seem affected"
I have to wonder
I must be awful
when you are going through such a tough time
and I seem not to care
I must be awful
for wanting my space back
for room to breath
I must be awful
for wanting to cry
to scream
to punch
to yell
when you want me to be okay
I really wonder
if I'm what you want
what you see,
or
if i'm just awful

I need a minute
please
I'm begging you
I need a minute
just a moment
or two
I need a second
though I know
it's worse for you
I need a place
a place to breath
a place to cry
even if you don't want me to

ok
yeah
I want to be heard
you caught me
are you happy now?
but that's the thing.
you see
all art is meant to be interpreted
by you
but I am not
I am the fool behind the mask
the director of this play
this poem is a shard of glass
weathered by the ocean
and the sand

I don't know if I want these to be read
I don't think they're quite good
but if I do not make them
then they will surely die alone
I don't want to be seen
to be known
to be heard
but I really hate being alone
I guess that's the irony
in being heard

In a class
In a corner
a place where I can hide
I sit and watch
and dream of things
I can't define
