They tell me smile
How can I smile when the world feels like it's ending
I smile though fake as can be
Cause happiness is something I yet to receive

Help me
I'm falling

And I don't know
How to ever get up
Because I'm in the deepest hole
In total darkness

With no way out

I lost myself in the nightsky
scaring me with it´s creatures
and found a stranger in the sunrise
blinding me with it´s shine

and the red sky left me stained
hiding my true colors
it was when the ocean turned purple
and the sky began to cry

soaking me with it´s odor
washing away my fragrance
that the reflection in the ocean
showed a stranger in me

So scared of the night I hid myself
becoming the spectator of my life
watching without interacting
silently in the back of my mind

I lost myself in the night
fearing it´s monsters
but the shine of the moon
brought me back

and as the sun rised
I finally saw
I was the monster
all along

This is the wrong body
I'm not supposed to be like this
Why did my brain develop one way
It makes my soul dehisce.

I'm not who you see me as
Yes, not a girl
I am a man
Not a pretty little pearl.

But no matter how much I bind
My chest down to choking
My family buys me dresses
The dysphoria they're provoking
I'm sorry for being so depressing, I'll try to write more happier things. :)

There's no other feeling like
Feeling... empty.
Where there's no place to call home
until I turn the age of twenty.

Mother doesn't want me coming back
Because I offended her
And the reason why
Is because I'm transgender.

I slept at my boyfriend's
But couldn't stay long
And that's when I realized
Life is all wrong.

I'm in a hotel now
I have food and shelter
But now the things I had
I cannot welter

Where do I go next?
I don't know
But maybe there's something
On the other side of the rainbow.
Hi guys, I'm currently homeless and staying in a hotel because my mother doesn't want me in her house anymore. It's a long story.

Mistakes have been made,
and I'm not sure how to fix them.
I try my hardest to be normal,
and yet I'm still condemned.

They yell
                            yell
                                                            YELL.

And I can't escape
the torture that they create.
This is about my parents.

I was never interested, I realized.

I ran, chased every tick of the clock afraid of not getting there on time, smiled at the person I just met, and answered the grammar exam like it was my quiz in Mathematics. I was even shaking during the typing exam. I was nervous during interview.

But I was never interested.

It feels weird though. The moment I heard about the company, all I thought was to get a resume and send it there. I never did a background check about the company, nor checking the possible salary I will be getting, and even the nationality of the students never came into my mind not until today.

After the HR congratulated me, I realized I don't want to have job nor the idea of getting this job or not.

And it hit me.

All the days I kept coming back in that building, running, smiling, hoping to give a shot, were all meant to be that way. I made those efforts because I should. But not because I wanted to work there.

It was because of the eagerness of emptying one's mind-- my mind. I was athirst of vacating all the thoughts inside my head, but the only way to null it is to fill it with thoughts I am not interested with.

Hopeless, as you see, unconsciously doing the things I never wanted to do just to forget the whole existence of this misery.

What do I expect? Sadness comes when you think you have almost escaped it. But fleeing is ephemeral. When sadness knocks your brain, you will always let it in, let it **** the hopes inside your head until there is only an ounce left for tomorrow. That is how it always goes.
Sudden sadness attacked me. Fck. I hate this feeling when you are almost happy, but you are just almost.

I say I love you
too much when I'm
drunk, but how cant
I say I love you?
Maybe I love you
too much.

Your presence gives
me hope.
It sobers me up
enough to muster a
hello.
How can I live in the present if everything I want is in the past.

So integral, this feeling
I can't make myself ignore it

The waves seep chill from off the wind
My thoughts, caught up in the current

I found the beauty in the lake
If only for a moment.

I ignored it for so long
But it's mine, just for a second

The calming wind over the lake
Caught in the skin of this horrid face

Scared and truly alone.

If I could only drift away...
