#dismissed
Whenever a long relationship ends sometimes, they say we can still be friends They tell everyone, I still have love for them, but I am no longer in love with them What's the difference, it still hurts the same No one's the winner in this love game A heart still gets broken in two What does having love for someone do? It's never mentioned or acted upon, becomes a weapon, a black crayon used to cross out and then dismiss any remaining love or tenderness It just a draws a line in the sand and leaves your heart in their hands

What Does Having Love for Someone Do?
I built you a bridge With my bare hands you torched it to ashes Just to watch it stand I gave you a map You tossed it away You cry for the road But won’t walk today I’ve seen this scene I know the score The same excuses Scattered on the floor Your story spins A revolving door You won’t pull through So why should I do what you refuse to? Keep your hollow yells And problems stacked like Dominos that never fell You beg for a lifeline While you sink I reach out my hand You let it slip I’m not your saviour Nor your saint I can’t carry all your weight You’re the villain in your tale And I won’t fix what you derail

They always think I'm dumb That I don't understand, I don't know what I'm talking about- I don't have a plan I ask questions if I don't have a clue, so why is it assumed I don't know what to do? I'm educated, I always got good grades Why does everyone treat me like I live in a daze? They double check me- every word that leaves my mouth, I'm never met with equal standing only others doubts

Ms Dismissed
She doesn’t confess her feelings, Her thoughts, Or likes to even converse. It’s not like she doesn’t try, She can write it, speak it, and some times scream it. But still she is dismissed. Never actually heard. Never truly seen. Never to speak again. So she’ll sit there, Fake a smile and make agreement noise here and there. But no one will hear her voice, because now she’s silent.

Mute.
You took the cloud from the sky Where else will it belong? I heard that new homes Are not easy to be found.

Where?
No one cares if you are falling, as long as you are still flying.

Overlooked
one day you are my best friend. the next. you pretend i don't exist. you played me. just like you play your music. on and on. i didn't realise it until you ran away. you said "we just had to get something" thats ******** it feels like more. when we are alone. you are mine. we do everything together. i sorted my life out for you. in a different way. we are sisters. we share a family. entwined. and yet. when the moment strikes, you leave me. and pretend nothing happened. and thats what hits me the hardest. the fact that you don't recognise the hurt, pain and agonising feeling in my stomach. it hits me like a knife. digging deeper into my soul. and you don't know. but. i keep coming back for more. and each time i do, the cut gets deeper. and deeper. i cry. kick. scream. for you. and i shouldn't but i do. i can't believe that you did it without me.

im not surprised.
I guess this is goodbye because it was all a lie when you see me around don't bother saying hi or any other kind of hello because I'll ignore you to avoid more pain I should've realised that you could see the disdain smothered all over my face but this is the end because I'm tired of two worded conversations and the feeling I get when I read what you've written and just are unable to delete. You still have feelings, just not for me.

Goodbye
The path to a mind of insanity can be seen as a gaping hole, the one inside left hollow and empty. Running from all signs of conformity the truth is we are the ones who are full of things only thought of as insanity. Running from our own form of what we see through the eyes which sit inside the skull and wishing to be anything but empty. “Don’t get caught up in the world’s vanity or you will end up as nothing but cold” are the words driving us towards insanity. If the ones only filled with shallow glee could understand our minds were carved from gold and they will be the ones left aged and empty, they would be forced to politely agree upon the ones who have always been whole. They are the jury and we plead insanity while their minds and the prison cells stay empty.

Court Dismissed
Fear Judged by irrationality Hidden in accidental oversights Feeding the dragon that leaks molten lava in salty streaks of regret Fear Empty wasted emotion Saving ourselves from ourselves Saving you from me Worst case scenarios never included you punishing me at the sight of my weakness Fear You only love me beautiful Love is a profound type of collective psychosis Looks like strength but hides the truth The truth that certainty is the truest delusion Fear On my best day, in the best possible scenario, I am still invisible Open and still transparent Full and still forgotten Insightful and irrelevant my thoughts pour out unheard Fear In my demon's shadows lives the truth of my vulnerability I am weak because I love you I am a warrior because you love me I am strong because I love you I am a lamb because you love me Fear Spilling my unseen secrets My evil self-talk, my mantra of honest lies The purr of a kitten unsettles a soul beginning to believe it mattered Pain dismissed in the peaceful snores of a tired moon Fear The sun shines in hope on the remnants of dream On the nightmare of forgotten, overlooked, inconsequential truth Empty apologies and the familiarity of beloved anguish Herald the realization, that words don't matter Truth or lies, faithless faithful, and a newfound silence Fear Invisible save for the ash lines that tell the tale Of how I begged forgiveness for sharing my tormented and twisted mind Only to be interrupted by the sounds of your peaceful slumber Fear To be everything to your everything and realize I am still........nothing at all
