If one star went missing,
Would anyone notice?
After all,
There are billions of stars
What's just one?

If I went missing,
Would anyone notice?
After all,
There are billions of humans
What's just one?
Feeling very insignificant....

Does a caterpillar die
When a butterfly is born?

And if so,
Why does no one mourn the caterpillar?

I could end the world
It would be easy
I would simply need to allow myself
To fall in love with
The sun
The moon
The trees
Or some other important thing
And like all other things I fall in love with

**It would leave

"Are you okay?"
You ask

"Well define 'okay'"
I answer

My heart is beating
Granted, too fast

My blood is flowing
I just checked

My brain is functioning
I'm thinking too much

My stomach is active
It's angry for me not eating

My lungs are moving
I'm just out of breath

Beyond physically?
No I'm definitely not okay
I'm so tired...

I think I'm broken and I can't be fixed
I think I'm forever alone because no one wants this
My nightmares stare deep inside of me
They won't let me be free

I speak of feelings
In a code called lies
But here's the thing:

**I'm kind of hoping someone will decipher it
I'm honest about feelings on this site, but that's about it

Cry
You know when I learned to not cry?
In kindergarten
"Only babies cry"
They said

So I learned to be hard
To not show my feelings
In kindergarten

*What is wrong with this world?
