My shoes


Throughout my life

I have always felt this pain

The pain in my heart can never be undone

The many more days I survive the stronger it gets

The more I feel like I should die all in one go

To get rid of these feelings of sadness

All these feelings caused by life

The annoying names and meaningless fights

The kids like a rose poke me as I try to grasp their friendship

More this goes on the more  I push away those I need and love away

The ones who care end up making me feel worse

No matter what I do 

I end up feeling like nothing 

My life is an abyss

Full of negative thoughts

I'm a reject to society I have no place here

See the world through my eyes

And cry cry cry 

And the world laughs and retorts 

Let’s see how long you will survive  

I WONDER HOW LONG YOU COULD SURVIVE IN MY WORLD 

step into my wonderland 

As we dance with the darkness 

Because the friends you try to make never are there for you 

You’re on the brink of overheating 

I just need to vent 

I want to say things and make people feel my pain emotionally 

On a level they never have been on

On a level that it will make others go insane I want them to hear my stories 

And watch the darkness call their name 

As they run from the truth that everyone 

Isn’t the same and and that no one can handle a game of life in my shoes
