#invalid - Hello Poetry

My skin shall open like soft words, Like the book you don't read for school, Or the gentle breaking of songbirds When I stretch my skin, to see within You say it's still not deep enough. Melt into static, My mind is erratic, I won't try to let it, But I'm far too dead hectic Rust builds up on my joints, Since they've been through a few deep red points I feel pain in my head, Feel pain from the led, And finally become one with the dead My room is too messy, Nobody gets me I showed you my cuts, You said not to let up, Said you'd seen worse, Opened your purse, Took out your lighter, Pulled my hand tighter, Ripped at my jeans, Tore at the seams, Broke up my heart, Right from the start, Stared at my wrists, Forgot to miss, Yelled out my name, Still I'm the same.

My skin shall open like soft words, Like the book you don't read for school, Or the gentle breaking of songbirds When I stretch my skin, to see within You say it's still not deep enough. Melt into static, My mind is erratic, I won't try to let it, But I'm far too dead hectic Rust builds up on my joints, Since they've been through a few deep red points I feel pain in my head, Feel pain from the led, And finally become one with the dead My room is too messy, Nobody gets me I showed you my cuts, You said not to let up, Said you'd seen worse, Opened your purse, Took out your lighter, Pulled my hand tighter, Ripped at my jeans, Tore at the seams, Broke up my heart, Right from the start, Stared at my wrists, Forgot to miss, Yelled out my name, Still I'm the same.

I think, I never, have been growing from young, into old inaudible, and intangible everywhere, everyplace, unheard and unseen Words don't go very far when mute, or ignored, to extreme shadows can't really compare least we know, they'll redeem I'll blend, as best as I can and fade as fast as the wind after all, I'm not really here I must have been...a bad dream

I'm not really here

INSECURE GENERATION The generation of today is living an insecure life. Life full of comparison Possession of things without thinking of what may happen A generation trying to prove others that they are the best A generation where young and energetic men are trying to prove themselves by destroying others. A generation where big and high class daddies destroy the young with material things A confused generation showing their happiness and wealth through photography A confused generation hard to love people from a broken family Everything is invalid! We suffer insecurities we didn't create Many are becoming insecure Completely unstable Trying to compare themselves with our today's models and celebrities of our century Probably hiding behind makeup Cause probably without the makeup! They,themselves are a hot mess! They pay a ransom to look great! If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! Then,why suffer so much trying to look spectacular? Why spend to your last coin attracting a whole lot of people? They say beauty comes from within Our generation need to stand courageously And fight against the enemy of self insecurity!

Please tell me why I even bother. Why do I bother to scramble to find the words to express how I am feeling when all you are going to do is press Ignore? I feel IGNORED. Why do I bother to talk about the thoughts that run screaming through my mind when all you’re going to do is Interrupt? You hate it but I hate it more. Never being able to finish my sentence is the curse I’m destined to die with. Never being understood is all I’m meant to be. Invalid is all I am. Invalid is all I’m meant to be.
