They say that the eyes
show through the soul
but when I look into yours
there’s nothing,
just an emotionless human being.

As if someone took your soul
and masked it with a black curtain
so no one can see through you.

Maybe that’s a good thing, because
if some people knew what was behind
it, they would be frightened by the truth and
their ignorance
which is…
you’re
not
perfect.

You think that people
are against you and you blame
them but yourself.

I should feel something
but I don't, I'm so used to
it that I am numb.
Haiku!

I wonder what it feels like to
succeed,
to prove someone
wrong.

To see the look on their face,
surprised.

To see all the doubters in
disbelief.

I want them to see the look of my
success
and their failure to bring me

We all create our own universe
to escape but I learned
that it just made me believe
that it was better than reality,
it was for a while but
it was just an allusion
to get me hooked.

My mind created monsters in my universe
that took every inch of innocence
every hope
every little happiness
I had of reality
because I was too caught up
in this world I thought was wonderful
but it was just a trap.

My mind has trapped me in
my own universe.

When people ask how I am
I usually reply truthfully.
But lately I realized I blurt that
I am good, I’m doing fine when
honestly I’m not doing okay.
I’m constantly so angry, so doubtful,
so impatient.
I just want to scream.

It makes me mad
that I’m lying to myself telling
people I’m “good”
because I’m not.

When we were kids some
told us that we were not allowed
to have an imagination, that it wasn’t
realistic.

Some thought differently, that
it was a place to make us
happy, a place to free our minds.

As we grew older we don’t know
who was right because our imaginations
only lead to disappointments.

We imagined we would be happy,
instead we’re more sad, angry
and confused.

We imagined people wouldn’t leave
but they do.

But it’s just our imagination,
It’s not realistic.
ehh, what do you think?
