Description
Why can't people just
Leave me the fuck
Alone?

I never mean
To hurt
Anyone

And I keep
Doing it
Anyway

People are so
Quick to change
Or judge or blame
At the slightest
Infraction

I am not a martyr,
A vestal to hold
All your suffering

They flare up,
I burn,
Holding my hands
Up in surrender
(Yes, that is my
Automatic reflex)

And this is,
Quite possibly,
The shittiest poem
I've ever written

Smeared with my
Mascara

Why can I only
Cry for myself?

I want to
Awake
Somewhere else
Where they don't
Tie my wrists together
And gag my mouth

Somewhere I can
Really speak

Where I don't meet
My low
So frequently

Where I don't have
To stare in the mirror
To know I'm still here
