What You Wish to Say
For Those Who Wished They Could Say More about Their Mental Health
What can you do?
How can you decide the summary of your story?
I can't struggle or I'm a rickety bridge.
I can't loosen the grip or I'm stabbed by shouts.
I get stabbed because people get mute
When they're close to spilling hatred,
And I'm Superman's counterpart?
You try fitting in with life!
You try constant debating
On whether you were born
As an angel or a devil!
Am I destined to think
Of crying blood
Without care, even from myself
While my ears decode a message,
As I wonder if the creature upon me
Is humane or not to expect me
To not make a few bumps on the road,
Within their yelling, I hear,
"Screw you, clumsy outcast!"
I thought it was a myth,
That the closest bullies to worry of
Are the ones in your home
When you don't have the skills and minds
That they could pray for.
I thought we'd be open
When the storm in your peace
Weathers away by force.
But Earth and clouds give the same warning:
"To stay alive, silence is golden!"
Can you, for once, imagine you're me?
You're not your authority, but you're not stupid.
When your mind shoots out of a cannon,
They quickly build a shielding wall.
When you explain with fingertips,
The response you catch
Is that you'll be delivered
To authorities who'll set you straight
And have a questionable source
Of the beating in their chest.
Why don't you live my life?
Your childhood had its ups and downs,
So when I'm scattering
From emotion to threat,
I'm supposedly frolicking in daffodils
With a big smile stamped on my face!
The only drug I'm on is reality.
The dosage? Eternal.
Read the story of a splattered mind
And the story of a child
Whose generation lacked so many shoulders to cry on
That brains' "boohoo" are heard as "taboo."
Which one will make you stop sooner?

I'm not the most sophisticated adult out there. I'm also not the best at communicating all the time, but I do try my best to get my thoughts out there into the world verbally or nonverbally.
