Depression
What freedom of expression?
Anxiety and panic
Hidden with a fake pic
Endless tears
Caused by the fears
of the judgement of society
Everything feels hopeless
Emotionless
What is sleep?
It’s been a week since my eyes have met the darkness that is my eyelids
Lost 10 pounds in less than 10 days
Awaiting the day I cease to exist
Hush little baby don’t you cry, say not a word and you’ll be alright
Suicide
From a dark side
Thoughts of seeing the sun
makes you want to run
Pills and blades
Dreams of overdose
and the end of your days
Everything feels hopeless
Emotionless
What is sleep?
It’s been a week since my eyes have met the darkness that is my eyelids
Lost 10 pounds in less than 10 days
Awaiting the day I cease to exist
Our eyes are open
Yet blind to all that is painful
Show me the pretty so that I can block all that is ugly
Shield my ears with the noise that is
Social media, TV, music, and gossip
So that I will not have to listen to the cries of my classmates pleading for help
God gave me a mouth to be the voice
for my brothers and my sisters
But when I open my mouth all that is heard is silence
and when I open my eyes all that I see is a world worth changing
Give me glasses and a pair of hearing aids
Let me view my world as it is
Turn off the distractions
Listen to the whimpers of the broken hearts across the room
The screams inside the minds of those who are demanded to shut up
And this time when I open my mouth I will speak and I will never stop.
