Everyday I say the right words,
the words they want to hear.
And everyday I act the right way,
the way they always want me to be.
And they say I'm a good person.

But every night before I sleep,
I ask myself "What am I?"

because when she was young,

people would ask her

"what superpower,

do you wish for?"

so without any hesitation

she replied "invisibility."

and then,

and then she grew up realising

it came true.

I felt so alone at that moment, I don't know why but the thought of it makes me greatly depressed. Then as I sat on the chair alone I noticed something. It was quiet. Not a sound could be heard but the crickets.

And I began to feel so overwhelmed with emotions, tears ran down at the ****** of my thoughts. And there I was, alone, alone with myself, alone with the silence and alone with alone.

Sometimes
Things build up and get knocked down
Sometimes
I can't hold on to the cliff
My hands slip off
and I look at the water below
Sometimes the world looks too tough
The dirt is frozen
And the shovel won't go through
I try to hang on when it
gets too difficult
But sometimes I
go over the edge
My fingertips are slathered
in the butter that fills me with self-hatred
And fear
Fear is a lion
threatens to swallow me whole
bares its teeth and looks me in the eye
I run in every direction
but he's always there
And I can't get free

Sometimes
The world is too much
But I stand strong
And bury my feet-
just my feet-
in the ground and
stand
up
tall
