I wish that I didn't invest so much in people.
I wish i could open up.
I wish I didn't bottle things up.
I wish I could take help.
I wish I could help my friends.
I wish i had an impact on people.
I wish my mind would stop spinning.

But it's okay because wishes come true sometimes.
And i build my  future.
I hold this power, and I want to do something with it.
I'm not sure....

I have tried to block you out.
Told you that I don't want you in my life.
Yet like a dog to a ball,
you keep coming back.

you put me through hell,
And here you are putting me through it again.
You never new what you did.
You will never understand.

The tears, the breakdowns.
Your fault.
But I still blame myself for letting it happen.
I try and block you out,
But what you've done is always there.
It's scratching at the surface and every so often,
it gets through
this is bad I know but I needed to get it off of my mind

Sometimes, I like to sit and think.
I've discovered that to be dangerous.
I fall down dark holes,
Things that have happened claw their way back up to the surface.

I can't help it.
My mind wanders off.
Everything gets to me.
And then, whilst my mind is on that wander,
It stumbles upon something.
Something that makes me happy,
Sometimes it's bad.
Sometimes it can make my day.

I'm sorry that I can't open up.
I'm sorry that I don't tell people everything.
But I can't.
Something in my brain tells me no.
It tells that no one cares, that I'm annoying.

I'm sorry that my brain puts up a wall.
I'm sorry that I feel uncomfortable telling people things.
I care so much yet I feel that no one cares at all.
I'm sorry...
this is just something I needed to get off of my chest.

The girls mostly laugh and smile,
Then they sit and talk for a while.
They'll see someone that they don't like,
And (in a worse way) tell them to "take a hike"

The boys mostly laugh at inappropriate jokes,
Or act like they don't like the girl,
But everyone knows that's just a hoax.

That's the popular ones,
The ones that you hear about.
They feed off of gossip and arguments,
A lack of "beef" for them may as well be a drought.

I've been on this new land for almost 2 years
And every day you realise something new.
It's amazing what comes to you
When you hide away and open your ears.
this really isn't very good and any writing tips would be very appreciated

People bang on the windows of the monkey’s glass cage,
They’re hoping to scare it.
They think it’s funny to watch something innocent
scared out of its mind
then again, why do people watch horror movies.

People bang on the windows of the monkeys glass cage,
And watch it run around.
It yells, pleading for the people
“make it stop, make it stop.”
But the monkey can’t speak,
So the people just laugh.

The monkey runs towards them with a look of anger in its eyes
A look of rage.
It bangs back on the window.
The people laugh still.
They laugh as though being trapped in a dungeon is a joke.

Then the zoo closes and the people go home.
The monkey goes to bed.
But the monkey knows it will happen again the next day,
and the monkey has to live with that because no one hears it when it asks:
“stop”
this is really not very good. I apologise

I'm walking.
I can feel my feet touch the ground.
I am here.

I'm still walking.
I can barley tell if I'm on the ground.
Where am I.

My brain pulled the parachute,
told me to get out.
I had no say in this.

Noise is muffled,
As though I'm wearing headphones with no music playing.
Everything is a bit fuzzy.

I'm walking.
I can feel my feet on the ground.
Everything is back to how it was, and no one noticed I was gone.
