In To Deep

September 5, 2012
By Anonymous

I walk down these crowded halls
yet no one can see me at all

I hear the song blaring through my headphones
as I dodge people speaking in loud tones

At lunch I sit alone
waiting for someone not distracted by a cell phone

I feel a sadness building inside
as I look out the window wondering what happens when I die

I'll sit alone in a darker corner
trying not to cry as I go through my mental torture

I wish I could change this world
as i put my hair in tight curls

I lay down and fall asleep
and wonder if I'm in to deep

I wrote this when I was having suicidal thoughts and had just started therapy in Butte MT. I remember watching all the "popular" kids walk by and make fun of me and other kids to because I'm different from them.
