November 21st
Staying strong,
Like nothing’s wrong
They give up
I tear myself up
They can’t comprehend
That I pretend
Words with two meanings
Hiding my feelings
They form imaginary lines
Forget your scars, forget mine
I’m broken
With words left unspoken
I’m shattered
Like I never mattered
A heart that’s miserable at best
And with all the rest
These days never get easier
Being weak and flimsier
I’m all torn open
Worn and sullen
The hardest part is letting go
I can’t let it show
I cover up
That I’m giving up
With painful scars and stares
Do they care?
Am I empty?
Drowning in despondency
In the dark now
They know how
To shatter me
