I AM IN THE DARK
I am in the dark
I wonder when the torture will end as
I see the darkened shadows hang over
I think it could all end
I want to reach the light cause
I am in the dark
I pretend to like my life
I feel the emotions drown me as
I touch the fleet less sky
I worry the woods will choke me so
I ask why
I am in the dark
I understand the worlds expectations
I believe all the voices
I dream they will leave me alone as
I trust the dreams that
I hope to see soon
I am in the dark
I am flying
I wonder how far u can fly before I fall
I hear all the sirens and street noises and
I want to be loved by someone
I am flying
I pretend to not be shooed away all the time
I feel like dirt when they do this
I touch my heart and
I worry if I’ll ever have a place to call home
I ask myself, is it worth it? To keep soaring when I’m going nowhere
I am flying
I understand that I must follow with the crowd, but
I believe I can go far
I dream of flying over Hawaii
I trust the wind to bring be there
I hope I will be free there
I am a bird
I am beautiful.
I wonder if that is true sometimes,
I hear ads for weight loss tea and cosmetic surgery,
I see the pressures people feel to be perfect, and yet,
I want to love my natural self, because
I am beautiful.
I pretend my insecurities have faded, and that
I feel unbothered, confident, and stunning.
I stand in the mirror, finding every flaw.
I worry I’ll never truly love myself, but
I know I will eventually.
I am beautiful.
I understand it’s not a simple process, but
I believe we’ll all get there one day.
I dream of a day where we will all be unapologetic of our personal beauty.
I trust in that faith, and
I hope that hearing this has made you say,
“I am beautiful.”
I am functioning
I wonder if my natural state will ever be good enough
I hear those who love me say
I need to stop making excuses for why
I ‘can’t’ handle responsibilities, but
I am functioning
I pretend to be sunny and floral but
I feel that I still appear dull and cold
I touch the warmth I wish to emulate but
I worry that I never will
I ask when I’ll be better and yet
I am functioning
I understand that I have a good life
I believe that those around me love me
I dream that one day their work will pay off but
I don’t know if it will
I hope one day I’ll stop drowning enough to say more than
I am functioning
I am insignificant.
I wonder what will happen when I am gone?
I hear static and bad voices.
I see a glimpse of who I use to be.
I want it all to just stop.
I am suffering inside.
I pretend I am happy.
I feel nothing but I also feel everything.
I touch, hear and see but it is never enough.
I worry about everything at once.
I ask why am I here?
I am slowly decaying.
I understand how this horrible world works.
I believe that one day I will be free of this prison of mine.
I dream of the silence.
I hope for eternal silence.
I am a shell of who I was.
I am glass
I see you but you dont see me
I hear yet not see
I cant show you me
The real me
I pretend to be here for your sake
I feel nothing yet everything
One touch and I may shatter
You worry when I say dont worry
You ask me why I’m like this
But my lips are sewn shut with pain
I understand that you have a life
I’m sorry if I cant keep this act up
I dream maybe one day it will all go away
I hope you can move on and be happy
I see you smiling and laughing while I slowly fade from your memory
I am broken
Wondering Wisp
I am a curious cat.
I wonder who’s voice
I hear as they speak and sing.
I see nothing cause everything blacks out.
I want to stop and replay.
I am wondering.
I pretend it’s real.
I feel excited and numb.
I touch the hearts of those
I worry about as death chase them.
I ask the truth behind those lying eyes.
I am wondering.
I understand it’s fake, but
I believe it’s got some truth.
I dream of a fantasy that can never be.
I trust nobody.
I hope I find myself, cause
I am wondering through life himself.
