StrongI have to smile.Strong5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I have to scream.
I have to be in denial,
Cuz If i'm not,
I'll cry.
I have to be strong,
For myself,
For everybody else.
When I'm weak,
Everybody else will lose me.
They can be weak.
Cuz I will stay strong.
They don't need to be.
I want them to stay happy.
I want them to stay safe.
I want to protect them from the world,
With all of my strength.
But I don't want to always be strong,
So I lean into the music,
The words,
The other worlds,
Where others are strong for me.
Where I can cry,
Be free from the pent-up wounds
Where I can dream of anybody,
And they'll be strong.
I hate being strong.

Finally free,
Nobody wants to find me.
So I finally come out of hiding.
Crashing down to reality,
Where everybody's searching,
Lying.
And it's hard to believe anything they say.
It's hard to believe they want me to stay,
When all I want is to fly away.
Make them come,
Let them see the person behind the shield.
Give it all up to the sky.
In my dreams I'm finally given angel's wings.
So I fly away.

Every moment lying awake.
Thinking about
Every single mistake.
Wish I could start over,
Not learn this the hard way,
But nobody gets to undo the hardships life puts in their way.
So I'll make it work,
And I'll suck it up.
That just the way it goes,
Even if sometimes it isn't enough.
But I will move on,
I will learn from this.
Because even if I fall,
I can be resilient.

Stronger.
If only I could stand on my own,
A little taller,
A little longer.
If only all those people,
Who I always want to talk to,
I could talk to.
Without a voice I stand,
But joined by others,
Hand in hand,
We'll get out of this.
If only I could find perfect harmony,
Fall in love.
If only I could find somebody,
Instead of always being a nobody.
Without a voice I stand,
But joined by others,
Hand in hand,
We'll get out of this.
Rigid social barriers,
Stretching on into endless light,
Endless dark.
Time slows when the world goes dim.
Without a voice I stand,
Joined by others,
But pitted aga

Tried help me.
And I,
I just kicked and screamed.
But this,
This isn't healthy.
Cuz I need you,
And you need me.
And I don't want to crash and burn,
Tear away from what we have.
Cuz all these scars may hurt,
But they make me who I am.
You,
You were burning.
And I doused the flame.
Yet still,
we need saving,
And we're both to blame.
And I don't want to crash and burn,
Tear away from what we have.
Cuz all these scars may hurt,
But they make me who I am.
So come on you're my friend.
And come on we're still sisters.
And come on it's different now.....
But I don't want to crash and burn,
Tear away from what we have

Wanting to help,
Not knowing what's wrong.
Everything's upside down,
Your world is burning,
Mine is spinning.
And we can't find our way
Out of the fear.
But we can stand by each other,
And hope for the best.
When everything's fallen,
We might rise.
Terrified,
But alive.

Go to sleep.
Pretend,
Pretend,
Nothing's happened to me.
Pretend nothing's broken,
Pretend I'm not scared.
Pretend I'm not pretending
That you're not there.
Pretend I don't care,
I do care.
Pretend.
Pretend life isn't death,
Pretend I'm happy,
Pretend I'm a ditz,
Who never is thinking.
Pretend I'm alone,
Till I can be sad,
But till then,
I'll pretend nothing's bad.
Pretend.
Pretend I'm not hurt,
Pretend I'm alive,
Pretend I'm not perpetually crying inside.
Pretend.
Close my eyes.
Go to sleep.
Pretend,
Pretend,
Pretend I'm not me.
I'm fine.I'm fine.I'm fine.5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I can smile the tears away,
Tuck my head in a book.
Everything comes to an end,
So will I.
Just waiting for that day,
Till then, I'm fine.
So smile at the world,
Tell them all to go away.
Because I'm fine.
Stick it out,
Suck it up,
Swallow poison,
Take a drug,
Hold the knife against my throat to back away.
I'm fine.
I've always been fine.
Nothing but fine.

DollStuck staring like a doll,Doll5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Doing my hair,
Playing dress up,
Pretending I can feel,
When someone else is just pushing me around.
Glassy eyes,
Plastic face,
I smile a painted smile.
Inside someone's broken,
Inside someone's hurt,
Inside someone's dying,
But no one likes her.
They like the smile,
They like control,
They like their beautifully fake little doll.

VoiceSomething's lost,Voice3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Something's missing.
It used to be in writing,
A vent for what was there,
Now all of my ideas are
Empty air.
So what's the point in fighting,
If there's nothing to fight for?
An what's the point of writing,
If nothing's there anymore?
What happened to the sadness,
The love,
The desperation,
The joy?
Where's my inspiration?
Where's my voice?
It's a bit broken.....5 months ago in Other
