Dark

They say there’s light
At the end of the tunnel
Without knowing
How far the burrow truly goes.
I wouldn’t even call it a tunnel
Because I am not walking, but
F
A
  L
   L
    I
     N
      G
Practically to my death
Gaining speed
Feeling the breeze
It’s getting harder to hold on to everything
Let alone keep my stability
I crumble
In the face of pain
Everything hurts
Wounds stay open
There’s no ground for me to land on
I’m lost in a plummet
So that even if the light is there
It would never
break my fall.

"Be seen
Not
Heard"- you say

What happens if I don't
want
to
just
be
seen?

What happens if it
is
about
hearing
me
out?

What happens if
my
rights
are
being
viloated
because
of
YOU!

"Be seen
not
heard"-you say

NO, I will
not
just
be
seen!

NO, I will
not
tolerate
your
pressure
or
cruelty!

"Be seen
not
heard"
shall be
"Be heard
not just
seen"

Because I
WILL
speak when
not spoken too!

Because I
WILL
not let you
get to
ME!

What you say
"Man of the house"
will affect
me
no
MORE!

This is for the children and adults who are treated like they are supposed to be just there to be there not treated like you are worth something

THERE IS HOPE FOR THE UNDERRATED YOUTH!!!

unrelatable.

Sometimes i see no point
in trying to fix myself
only to be broken again.

It hurts, ya know?

Go Ahead.

I'm not a book,
yet you always judge me.
I'm not your footpath,
yet you walk all over me.
I'm not a card game,
yet you continue to play me.
I'm not a sand bag,
yet you insist on punching me.

I don't care.
Do what ever it takes until you realize

I'm nothing

like

you.

Sometimes I feel that everyone is doing better than me in some way. I know it's not right to compare my own life to others', but it's a bad habit of mine.

lullaby.

I'll only ever have my tears
to fall asleep to.
