It feels like everones talking about me isolating me shutting me out
It feels like no one cares Leaves me to die to fend for my own
It feels like people turn a blind eye scoff in my face spit at my feet
It feels like no one wants to be my friend like no one wants to listen or have fun anymore
Hey but at least now I know How to be alone
I know how to sit in silence I know how to make friends with the dark I know the feeling of an empty heart
I know how to be alone Its a skill I have developed One I wish not to have, but one i cannot get rid of
I am alone And thats ok But it makes everything seem rather gray
I want a friend A comrade A companion
But i am better off Being friends with my mind Because i know how to be alone
Do you know the feeling of being pitied? Do you know the feeling of being left behind? Do you know the feeling of hearing whispers? Do you know the feeling of searching eyes?
They say they know us They say they hate us They say that weāre weird They say that they wish we died
Sure, I have mental problems And that makes me different But who are you to judge Just because Iām not on the mean?
You donāt know me You donāt know what I go through You donāt know the panic attacks I have You donāt know the things I crave
So go ahead and leave me alone Go ahead and abandon me Iāll watch, no smile on my face Leave if Iām too much for you
Mental Illnesses Physical Illnesses Emotional Illnesses On and on and on
These normal people donāt get it Or maybe they donāt care But the ones who know The ones who actually have them
We know ourselves We know our worth We know who we are We know what we can do
And they canāt stop us Because theyāre scared Theyāre scared because they canāt predict us They donāt know us
They say they know us But we know us And thatās that Bitch
I get so weirdly obsessed over certain things That trap me in my mind like Rapunzelās tower Constantly overthinking and stressing, it stings Letting myself get anxious over everything hour after hour
And just being stuck at home, doing pnothing and being bored Scared of failing, disappointing, and that bad things will occur Thinking I will be resented, instead of adored I know I am not really that secure
I can make myself obsess over things that I love That keep me very focused and be as happy as I can be Only stressing and thinking when I have to, having more control thereof Letting myself enjoy life to a high degree
Always living it up and always trying Looking at a brighter side to life, trying to be secure about everything
My overthinking, Has me sinking. Into this deep mire, Sullying my own ire.
Creating slights, My hurt hitting new hights. Choking my heart, Which fails to restart.
Reassurance is needed, Your support heeded. Hand on my chest, āPlease restā
A smiled returned, Fear overturned. Calmness restored, This relief flawed.

Love you R

I have many good traits To the point some people think im perfect But im human I have horrible, disgusting traits too
Iāll talk about the good ones first Iām pretty popular Iām the best striker in my league And Iām very artistic
But thereās also the other ones The ones i try to ignore While they scrape at my soul The meds donāt help
Some of the ābadā traits are: I hate myself I think im fat Iām annoying
But these arenāt bad if you think about it Letās talk about my self hatred It can be a good thing Like when other people insult me
You might be thinking, āhow is that a good thing?ā Iāll explain Because i hate everything about myself, I can just smile at them and say āi knowā
This confuses them Thats the point So in a way, My depression makes me better
snow lands on top
those blonde curls
the mysterious blue eyes
the smile
the laugh
the tear
I wish you were real
I wish I was fictional
they call you mean
they call you rude
they call you thoughtless
or manipulative
but I know
I know that weāre all just human
we are all like that
you were just more unlucky
than the rest
I want to hug you
to hold you tight
to kiss your forehead
and boop your nose
and tell you that
everything will be alright
it wasnāt your fault
you became that way
lucy gray baird
like water she seeped in underneath the swirling waves convinced with sweet words you fell, like snow during winter
gone, like sheād never been there roses were a tainted memory always hearing her in the breeze you were once happy and young
but those times were long gone all thatās happened will not repeat itās written in the stars or I dare to say, woven in our souls
it sounds ridiculous
but Iāve never loved someone so much
heās only a character
but I want to be with him
by his side
just to see him smile again
I wanted to tell him
that things would be fine
even if itās a lie
even if itās impossible
I loved him
he loved herļæ¼
you loved
only to realize
sometimes, we fall in love
with the wrong person.
Soft Sensitive is what they call me But really I am soft
Cozy I love my bed All cuddled up Away from pain Blankets wrapped tight Because thatās what you do With delicate things
Fragile
My cheeks flush and my eyes wander
When I feel too seen
When I try too hard to have a say
To do things my way
I break at the smallest crack
Even though ironically
To feel seen
Is all I want
Warm I give others cozy blankets too If I warm people up inside Maybe then the world will be A cup of hot tea Not just for them but For me Too
Chubby My body is soft These days with a tummy roll and chubby cheeks My shoulders are like pillows For anyone who wants to cry Or to be free To just be Or to talk
Soft
Yes I am fragile but
Isnāt best feeling in life is
The warm embrace of
A cool pillow
With the delicate touch
Of someone soft?
I am soft
