Look at my indifference to you.
I mean look at me,
I'm abnormal like a book without words
Drifting in isolation. like I belong in space.

~It's almost like...for me there is no place

And oh my word I can't breathe.
I feel trapped without air
Even though I'm not claustrophobic I'm suffocating.
This feeling is what the world can't stop recreating.

And I know you've felt it too.
Or am I wrong? (our problems)
We keep it to ourselves due to fear of judgement.
But hey, that's our secret. Not theirs.

What's worse is most of the time...
I could tell someone what's up.
Explaining how I'm a mess up and I hate it.
How it's causing a downward spiral like a rotation in a vortex.

You know what they say?
The approximate response of these critics,
Is "yeah right"

"You're overreacting."
"You don't know real struggles."
"You're weirdness is a disease not a treasure"

My reaction as always?
"Woah"
Almost made me uncomfortable.
In my own skin!

That's why I learned to love myself.
No validation from others just mine.
Stay positive, act not talk and always see the good in you... Not others, they have blades like samurai (funny)

And avoid getting cut.
Let no blood appear.
