When there's tears to cry 😭
You're heart start to hurt
Like pins and needles to say strong enough
To lift yourself up
Don't look in the mirror behind these broken
Tears that can control you to be sad
First and foremost, I would like to advise that I have been dealing with some severe emotional issues, in which recently on October of 2017 I was diagnosed with my illness. Which, causedmy academic standing to be affected in the past.
Your obsession with my willingness to overcome challenge leaves me feeling like a failure
Your words have power the way you use them hurts me
One year ago,
It was a brand new year.
New memories to be made,
Two thousand sixteen.
There I was,
Watching the sun set,
I am stuck on a island everyday
From the unaccessible sidewalks
To the bigoted words you say
Yes I may be handicapped
But aren't we all in our own way
“I am misunderstood. I am an artist.
I work with my heart through my hands;
a concept not accepted in this unforgiving society.”
How can you tell,
tell them they can't do well?
Why can't they feel accepted anywhere out side of their home?
All this discrimination caused by a single chromosome?
Silence
It surrounds me
Someone talking in the other room
Someone is laughing
But the silence is around me
Crushing me.
I can’t breathe.
I wait a moment, I blink
She’s twelve
STUMBLE
by Breea Renee
Where is my leg?
My arm feels lost in space.
My eyes are black with confusion.
My throat closes.
Welcome to the hospital.
Where they strip you of your human rightsLike liberty and lawful due processYour right to choose, and live, and think,Then say you have Delusions of Persecution.
Dana never could remember what was proper to say
His only concern ever was to make someone's day.
So when Dana saw a girl, as lonely as could be,
He walked up to that girl, and that girl was me.
