My Life

The pauses are the thoughts I don’t dare say

Wrinkled clothes tell you it was a long night

Fake Smiles show I’m trying to be strong

Tears are signs that I’m getting closer to rock bottom

Failing grades reveal that I’ve stopped trying

My attitude screams that I’ve had enough

Blank looks tell you just how much I don’t care

Shattered glass resembles my broken promises

Loud music is just one of my ways to escape

My pathetic lies push everyone away

Pity always brings them back

Detentions give me an excuse to not go home

My constant chatter keeps me from thinking

Torn pictures are from angry fights

Shredded letters filled with my dark thoughts.
