I write these poems
to distract my head
from the thoughts that plague it.
I write these poems
not for an audience
but yet
people like what I write
to escape
to understand
they might relate
or
they might understand the world
from the perspective of
                                         someone
                                                         else.
I WRITE LOUD
TO GET MY FRUSTRATION OUT
i write soft when i need quiet and somberness
I write to help myself
but yet
maybe I write as a cry for help for people
humans
to see, to understand, what i feel.
I write.

people always ask
why
"why do you wear these clothes?"
because it makes me feel like myself
"why don't you cut your hair?"
because i like it longer
why
people wanna know but sometimes i dont know how to answer.
so they think i want attention and dont actually believe what i do
"why are you such an attention *****?"
im not i am just trying to be me
"why dont you like yourself?"
because everyone always makes it sound like being myself is wrong
"why don't you just die? because you are a freak who doesn't belong here. anywhere."
because i want to live for my friends. and to be myself.
"why aren't you dating anyone?"
because no one wants to date me and im not quite sure what i want in a relationship yet
"why do you act like a girl?"
because that is who i am on the inside.
why
i always get asked why
but i never  know
how to speak back
