You wear faces like a mask
You hide feelings in a cask
Your countenance is set like stone
Sharp eyes, glass shards, to become renown.

Exercise

Isn’t exercise supposed to make you feel better about yourself?
I must be doing something wrong, then.

Water

Up to 60% of the human body is water.
I must have much more than that,
Because it keeps on leaking
Out of my eyes.

Illogical Logic

Logic
Seems so illogical
When you try
And justify
Your emotion.

Sick

I am sick
Of everything
Being the same.
I am sick
Of people lying
And lying
And lying to me.
I am sick of having to tell
People what they want to hear.

I am sick
So sick
Don’t come near me
I’m contagious.

Exhausted

Isn’t it exhausting
To always be afraid?
No wonder I am always tired.

Everything Small

Everything small
Seems big
When you
Are shrunk down
Until everything
Is gargantuan and hulking.
