I am strength.
My whole life I have been looking for stability and support.
Completely blind to the power that I hold.
I told myself that I needed my father.
because not having one means i'm a '*******'
A word that was meant to describe children like me.
But children like me had no choice,
we're subjected to a word because of our parents decisions.
Instead of being subjected to a word that describes ourselves.
I've made it far knowing he didn't want me,
I did this on my own.
So I will not be subjected to the word '*******'
Instead I prefer 'Strength'
we're more than our parents decisions and mistakes. we define ourselves, so choose your own word and wear it proudly.

I am not subtle
with what my words seem to hide
my face shows confidently,
see I wear my emotions on both inside and out.
feeling 10 times stronger than they should
with no hesitance shown
my words will never match with my face
because I am not subtle
although I try

ignorance is bliss
pretend you do not know of the evils that exist
they lurk not only in the darkness,
but in plain day too.
they're in your stores and at the doctors,
yet no one has a clue.
they smile like the rest of us,
and tell jokes of evil things.
they laugh at the levels of our trust,
they aren't normal human beings.
they manipulate and lie,
their brains so twisted sick.
and when all is said and done,
when their actions are over.
don't expect an apology
or look back over your shoulder.
continue with your life,
don't talk to that evil man.
instead of an explanation you'll get
"i dont know, lol ****."
i am not your mistake, you are mine.

like chains wrapping tight around my body,
your love shows no mercy.
engulfing my every sense and every thought,
leaving little to no room for anything else.
i'd never complain about the way you make me feel,
but I'd never deny the stress it's ever brought me .
and as time progresses,
I seem to long for that love that surrounds me ,
and lose the interest in loving myself .
what about my plans for the future before you came around..

eating away at my chest
deeper and more intense
I can't breathe
I can't see
someone please stop this anxiety,
choking on my own spit
sitting in my own tears
words won't come out of my mouth
stop this , god please.
