Broken

So many thoughts swirling in your mind
Yet no words come when you open your mouth to speak
So many emotions coursing through your body
But only anger shows its red face

You’re mean
You’re rude
You’re an asshole

Why can’t you be nicer?

You’re hurting
You’re broken
You’re lost
You’re alone

Why don’t you ask for help?

So many thoughts swirling in your mind
Yet no words come when you open your mouth to speak
So many emotions coursing through your body
But only anger shows its red face

You’re crying and screaming
Throat tight and raw, bleeding from the effort

Can anyone hear me?!

The pain in my chest is becoming unbearable
My hands are tingling from the clenched fists banging on the floor

Why can’t anyone hear me?!

Get up in the morning and hide behind a smile
A joke
A laugh
Smoke to silence the screaming

Why don’t I ask for help?

So many emotions coursing through my body
But only anger shows its red face
So many thoughts swirling in my mind
Yet “I’m not okay” comes when I open my mouth to speak

Did anyone hear me?

Silence
Loneliness
Ignored

So many thoughts swirling in my mind
Yet my mouth stays closed so no words can come
So many emotions coursing through my body
But my face shows nothing

Only my eyes reveal the true pain inside

They said I was mean, and I believe it
Until their voices became my own

I’m mean
I’m rude
I’m an asshole

Why can’t I be nicer?

I’m hurting
I’m broken
I’m lost
I’m alone.
