Causing them so much frustration Wanting me to be their perfect little princess But that's the one thing I'll never be Why do they put pressure on me? Expecting everything to be easy And for me to be so oblivious to them What they say What they whisper Behind my back You should love me for being myself Let me be who I am It's torturing me That I can't break free From the expectations Limitations Not a stranger to the lies When our eyes meet I do not wish to be afraid I do not wish to be a disappointment Even though I already am These scars wouldn't be so hidden If you would just look me in the eye I want to be safe in your embrace Not threatened to  be caged Far from all I know I am alone In this house Barely heard Tears that cannot drip Yet crash like rain A hurricane of pain The violence causes silence From it The ashes stir Who are we mistaken? With their words And their actions And their lack of empathy Another will is breaking Heart takes over Inside They are writhing in agony Bottling the truth And giving it to the ocean Forever lost Yet always there Waiting to be found Their way Or no way Just keep quiet They won't suspect a thing When you disappear... - Jay M April 22nd, 2019
