strawberryshortcake - Hello Poetry

you hold back your tears, honestly, you've been holding them for years. But you don't have to do that with me, I promise I will listen, I will see We will go through the problems, and figure out answers to solve them. Even if you feel the world getting bipolar, you will always have my shoulder. But you can't cry because you have to be a 'man', but that is one thing I will never understand. Who the hell said that crying makes you weak, just because you aren't afraid to feel, you are a freak? I love you and I will try to make you understand, I command these falsehoods to unhand the man who makes me smile.

giving up on poetry is like giving up on air except more painful holding on to my past is like my own crown of thorns that I wear without complaint having a depressive episode is like drowning in a black lake of me but I hate the person I am being myself is like the disappointment you feel as a child when you realize you can't be anything you want.

turbulent eyes and worn hands faded tattoos from long-forgotten drunken nights marks of needle prinks and a southern slurred speech - you were kind to me

I am a sword of glass, deadly, but ready to shatter at any moment. You are an iron hammer, strong, and slowly breaking me apart.
