The
pain
of
silence
is
written
in
shame
always
unopened
crying
in
vain
Any behavioral change must be treated
as
a
sign
that something is wrong
Ruheen May 2019
Take what you can get
Even if it's not what you want.

A shoulder to cry on.
A comforting hug.
A piece of advice.


Because sometimes what you want
Is not what you need.

Lock the door.
Close your eyes.
Embrace the dark.
Slide down onto the floor.
Feel the cold wall.
Against your back.
Hit your head on the wall.
It sounds like a heartbeat.
Just listen carefully.
Block everything else out.
It keeps on going.
Then suddenly, it stops.
Just like your own.
Now, again.
Open your eyes.
See the light.
Embrace it.
I don't know. Just try it.

I have the gun in my hand
If I shoot you on the head
You’re a dead duck.
If I miss
It’s your good luck.
I have the gun in my hand
If I shoot on your leg
You’re a lame duck.
If I miss
It’s your good luck.
I have the gun in my hand
If I shoot you in the eyes
You’re a blind duck.
If I miss
It’s your good luck.
I have the gun in my hand
But in this game
It’s your heart I aim.
And if I miss
I’ll run out of luck.

We know, but not enough.
We are happy, but not enough.
We are free, but not enough.
Humans have been trying for so long,
But I think we need to try a little harder.
Learning about this at school. Really smart, but really stupid, if you ask me.
