teenager


you say get over it but how

you say get out of your room how

you say think happy thoughts how

we need help

no one helps us 

why

we are the broken ones

the ones no one wants 

the ones who get left behind 

the last picked for dodgeball

not the fastest 

its our minds

its our bodys

its our past 

how do we end the cycle

how do we end the viloencde in our head

we are so overwelmed 

the schools 

they dont get it

the coaches, the parents, our friends 

they dont know what happens when our mnds 

when they finally turn off.
