you say you know
what turned me into this mess
people label as "emo"
or why this emptyness
aches inside me
every now and then,
and clearly you can see
how i struggle to be content
with what i am.
you say i'm crazy
because i don't give a damn
about anyone but me.
well, let me tell you
that this didn't happen
because because wanted it to.
yes, i was normal back then,
if it's "normal" you want to call it.
i know i'm not like the others
and i'm not afraid to admit
that i find relief with razors.
what you see
is what i show you.
everyone who looks at me
just stares right through.
they all fill their mouths with s**t
and ignore me like it doesn't matter
that i've never felt so sick.
i'll carry my scars forever
and scream silently for help.
i may be a fake to you
but at least i'm true to myself.
did it ever come to you
that maybe if you took the time
to hear what i have to say
you'd know what goes through my mind
and maybe see me in a different way?
did you ever consider
that what i go through everyday
is what makes me drift away so far?
alone, misunderstood and pushed away.
i'd love to see you in my place
and go through the insanity
of having hundreds look into your face
and never notice how completely
destroyed you are on the inside
because they're too busy uncovering
the scars and secrets you hide

This was a very deep and meangiful poem.
5/5.
I love the quote
"i may be a fake to you
but at least i'm true to myself."
This is one of the most honest poems I have read yet.
Great work. - Report As Spam
