How to never stop being sad
How to never stop being sad
How to never stop being sad
I have the feeling you hate me
I know people say it’s not true
But whenever I come around you I feel it
I feel like you’re annoyed at me
That you hate me
And I hate that
I can’t ask you about it
Because you will deny it
But every part of me is screaming that you have me
I feel like I’ve messed up
And you hate me for that
Or that I’m annoying you
And you hate me for that reason
I won’t ask you if ...
Hi
I wish I could come up to you
And give you a hug
Tell you everything is going to be ok
That you will make it through
I’m sorry that on your first year at a new school
You were treated like that
And how you left the year with more issues than before
I’m sorry how she was your first friend
And I’m sorry that I didn’t prevent it
I wish that I could tell you to skip the event for your school
And...
Skin
I try to pretend it doesn’t get under my skin
That I don’t itch for it to go away
That I don’t let anything bother me
That I can hold my temperament
Saying that I don’t get angry or upset
But I lie
Everything goes under my skin
Like there’s a big gaping wound that everything goes into
Like there’s an entrance for issues
And words
And looks people give
That get to me
That carry spears to go ...
You attack my appearance
When after I say nothing about yours
In a silly battle of words
Your mind goes to my face
My hair
How I am presented
My body
When I never said anything of yours
You whisper curses behind my back
Thinking I’ll never hear
But I do
It hurts my feelings knowing you speak ill of me
Knowing someone I liked turned on me
To being out of ideas going for the easy target
How someone...
When someone asks me
What sport I play
I respond with Swimming
But I wish I didn’t
I don’t enjoy it
But you do
You swam when you were in high school
And you want me to do the same
When you’re working away in your office
Hidden away from the world
I never see you now
But only when I do swim
You come out to the light
Telling me what do to
Spending time with me at meets
Driving me to practice
The onl...
We are born into this world
And told to speak
To express ourselves
To tell others of our needs
To speak in your mother tongue
That you learn so early on
Growing comfortable in speech
Talking to people on the daily
Communicating like we were born to
But when I speak it’s different
It’s a nervous feeling using my mother tongue
Having to speak to others
Or anyone at all
So nervous that when I speak m...
Left out
I see your stares across the room
How you get upset when you can’t sit next to one of your friends and you have to sit next to me
Because I’m not of your better friends
Even though you say I am
I see how you look at eachother when I talk
Trying to say something to you
But you don’t hear
You’re too busy walking away
Or ignoring me
I see how you look at her in class
I’m sitting behind you b...
You make me stupid
You make me feel stupid
I’m smart
I’m smarter than you think
Yet you always make me the stupid character
In every group I’m ever in
Why?
I keep more in my head than I say
I feel more than I say
I care more than I say
And you make me your fool
For entertainment and jokes
With me always being the bud
It hurts my feelings
I never say that
I need to
I need to tell you it hurts my fe...
Sadness
I have so much sad in me
Born with sadness in my veins
It’s the only stable thing that goes through me
Flowing back and forth my body
Sadness is always there
Under every happy moment
There is a sadness
One I can not describe
For it is always there
When I get sad it comes in waves
But not small ones
Tsunami waves crashing inside my head
Rocking my brain and spilling out of my eyes
My sadn...
The little girl stands facing her mother, her eyes peering up at her. “Do you like me?” She asks. Her mother is quick to respond, “of course I love you!” With a bright smile she makes her tone warm and inviting. The little girl doesn’t move. Her mouth is carved into a frown, and she doesn’t smile, she just stares at her mother. She looks at her in sadness, and this time, with a quiver in her tongu...
