Today will be cloudy, but no rain
The sky will go dark,
The wind will blow,
We might need to take cover,
But the rain won’t fall.
But the sky still stays dark,
Just waiting for a glimpse of light,
Just holding on until a moment of sun.

We like to pretend we are perfect.
We lie and say we are alright when we know we aren’t. Children cry and people die and people **** every day. And still, we push those things away and try to stay pretty,
Is it because we are unaware?
Or do people simply not care,
That others just like them continue to suffer every day.
How do you watch someone fall,
And not help them up?
How can you see someone torn apart and not try to put them back together again?
You say “I’m fine” and expect others to help out,
But what can you expect when you give them reason to doubt you are kind-hearted, and true?
Maybe you think that is you,
But until you show the world how caring you can be,
You might as well be a terrorist or a criminal.
You need to see that this world needs you the most.
Change it for the better.

Everything is plastic
Everything is fake
A smile, a sentence
When he says he will love you forever,
It’s a lie
When he says he likes you just how you are,
He doesn’t mean a word
They all want you to change yourself.
They give you promises they won’t keep.
They make you feel special, then leave.
They open your heart just to break it.
Instead of loving you the way you are
They tell you who they want you to be.
Maybe there are good guys somewhere,
But I haven’t met one yet.

Used to be
I used to write all the time.
A pen and paper would help me de stress.
I could block out the world.
I could build one of my own.
I could
But then I couldn’t anymore.
My pen was replaced by two ****** fingers and a broken mind

You can look in the mirror,
And like what you see.
You don’t hide, you won’t put up walls.
You have no guilt or regrets to feel.
You don’t make mistakes,
But you still learn.
You are wise, but keep the heart of a child.
You never feel alone,
But you don’t need to be around others.
Your smile lights up the room,
But it stays natural.
Your skin stays flawless,
And you don’t even try.
You have seen no preoblems,
But you aren’t ignorant.
You are loved and wanted,
And still have the respect of all.

You are perfect in every way,
Because you are fake.
You are just in my head.

Perfection is in unattainable,
And yet we are put down when we realize that we have flaws.

We can’t be perfect,
So we should be happy as we are...
Right?

Then how come even when I’m told I’m worth everything,
I don’t feel like anything?

How come when I’m told I deserve love,


I can’t even love me?

Can you feel the wind on your skin?
Can you tell where I’ve been?
I don’t know the way home anymore
Can I go back to who I was before?
Is home still there?
Or  did it fall away like the rest.
I sleep on the streets
I watch people walk by,
As if not seeing the pain in my eyes
Will you look at me?
Will you see past the dirt on my skin?
Can you see through the tears in my eyes?
It’s ok.
You can walk by me like the rest.
It’s alright.
You can pretend not to see me there.
It’s just fine.
You can leave me alone with my pain.
But what would happen if you gave me a hand?
Reached out?
Just passed me that spare change?
It’s normal I guess.
You can just watch me suffer.
You can just walk away.
You can...

But I wish you wouldn’t

Invisibility
Some say it’s a power.
Some wish that they could just disappear.
Me, I don’t have to try.
I am not seen,
Not heard,
Not really.
I feel like I am screaming but no one can hear
I fake a smile so no one can sense my fear
The real me inside is drowning, gasping for air
While I act like I’m alright, like my problems aren’t there
No one sees the real me,
Even though I always wonder how it would be
What they would say if I washed away,
All of the fake that all of them see
