Dear God, why create me this way??, Another Being for the world to sway.
God do you even listen when I pray??, Lend me your ear I’m in disarray
Lend me your hand my soul breaks away.
Lord, I’m tired of pretending to be okay, weakened by every obstacle you throw my way
My heart hurts it’s on the verge of decay
This life you’ve forced on me and I’ve fallen prey, victim from the very first light of the day
Sad and sorry I have to say, anything I owe I’d be happy to pay
But I’d rather be far away, than live in this world for another day.

And I remember watching that stupid movie

It had so many awards

Nothing scary had happened but the darkness it projected made me anxious

You held me

You held me during

You held me after

But even then,
Though comforting,

I still don’t love you

i love the way your eyes look inside me
like they can actually see me

i haven't felt like i exist in other peoples world but my own
it is like the universe sent me you
so i can remember what it feels like to live

I enjoyed a world only I could see, in a way only I understood
You came to me and spoke words we both knew
About a world only you understood
Each time we talked and in each your smiles
I could see how hard you tried and how with every word
with every smile, you tried to stir my thoughts
Ever so slightly towards your world, away from mine
Towards your definition of sadness, away from mine
My sadness you never understood, and It never left
The proof that I didn’t belong, the cause of your pity
I am happy, even without your smiles
Happy to be different, happy to breathe, to think, to live
Happy to be sad, Sad to be lonely, but happy to be me
To accept that fact one's uniqueness comes our difference and the sadness we feel about being different

He sat away from every one, he talked to no one
Not saying he was, but he seemed lonely
Not saying he was, but he seemed sad
Out of empathy I went towards him
Because I cared I talked to him
I smiled and I shared the joy he so much seemed to lack
Each time we talked, I smiled. He inquired and I answered
His interests, his dreams
Everything I could understand and everything I couldn’t
I accepted and in return I smiled
I smiled and I shared the beauty of life.

I have known you for a while now
Unable to tell you what I think, to reveal my feelings
Witnessed our relation become awkward and our conversations turn to greetings
Unable to reach to you with me words, unable to understand those said to me
we talked through writings, I tried to talk and share more
but we were never close enough for me to share all that I stored
Random chitchat and deep feelings, but I have found a way
To write down these thoughts and emotions in a way that pleases the soul
I am still unable for fully comprehend all you try to convey
But let this once the beauty of my words bewitch that heart, I have so long wished to know
