Thoughts.
I sit here, breathing slowly,
In my corner, where I think
about all the bothers me.
Gritting my teeth,
closing my eyes,
clenching my fists,
not wanting to believe
what I thought was merely lies,
was really the truth.
My breaths quicken, my eyes widening,
just to close again.
My nails digging in my skin, making me bleed.
I don't want to believe.
I just want to scream.
I just want someone to always be here,
Tell me everything is okay.
Wipe away my tears and hold me tight.
Until I'm back to smiling.
Back to being myself.
Someday I hope to have my wish come true.
Until then, I'll sit here in my corner, waiting.
Pretending everything is fine.
