My first real fall was when I scraped my knee.
My first real scar was from a needle piercing my skin, in the wrong spot.
My first real cry was when pointless things hurt me.
My first real experiences didn't feel so real, until now when--

My first real fall was from being pushed too much by the crowd.
My first real scar was from the blades they all held, pointed to my heart.
My first real cry was, when I ran, my sobs being silent and my tears nothing but hot and cold.
My real experiences only came after I let myself, and let everyone else, feed me lies.

I let them, and now, it seems so real.
A pariah to the masses; I, being a solitary being. Poetry is my escape to a place where I am able to express myself without having to alter anything.
