nihilism

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 must be 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

need a minute
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

letter in a bottle
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

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
