Too Deep For Tears
The meaning is kept deep inside
 And unspoken because of the secrets
 It reveals and the shame it attacks.
 Lonely nights I stay up crying
 Myself to sleep, the pain and
 Shame of neglect and the lonesome
 Feeling leaves me no escape.
 All my life I was taught to be strong
 And I was prevented from expressing
 My inner feelings about my situation
 Nobody has a clue of my sudden
 Despair when they look
 Into my hidden eyes
 Night after day I remember feeling
 Empty like a black whole was
 Consuming me cell by cell
 Unable to express my self
 Wanting to just give up
 Wondering how to make it all go away
 Being a prisoner of my own childhood,
 I discover a bright red scream
 It gives me a definition of why
 And most of all control
 Over my own body
 It feels good to be in control
 Of my pain at last
 After every obsession was over
 And I was stated for a while,
 I would sit and wonder how
 It would feel for all of my pain
 To just fade away forever
 But I just didn't know how to
 Make it all go away and never come back.
 The more I mutilation the more
 I realized that no one could ever
 Hurt me again,
 As much as I could hurt my self
 I kept the mapping of the
 Way I felt deep inside.
 It was beautiful to me, but
 I wanted to protect everyone
 Around me from what was going
 On inside of me,
 So I kept it a secret.
 I'm trying to dance with my dreams
 But I can't get the steps down.
 My silent partner who seems to
 Cease all of my pain was now addicted to me.
 It was like an obsession
 But I felt that that was too good for me.
 That I deserved everything
 Bad in the world and that
 Death would grant me the
 Peace I didn't deserve.
 I wanted to kill the most important
 Person in the world, but then
 I found out suicide was a crime.

Who sparkles in unique clothes
Who feels lonely sometimes
I don't ask to be understood
Because I cant even understand myself
I ask to be accepted
I ask to be accepted as I am
I don't want to be told what potential I have
Or what my future holds
I don't want to be told that
I'm not going anywhere in life
Because I skipped a class
I question my existence
My meaning
I question what the, 'real world', is
And why I'm not there
I feel happy with no shoes on
I feel lonely in a room full of people
Sometimes my heart bleeds
And I cry
My enemies voice echoes in my head
Like a little girl screaming for help In a giant
Empty room
I'm told to be different and to
Be my self
But then I am told
What to do and say
I love to write and I don't
Worry about rumors
I don't know hot to sing awesome
But I sing out of passion
My name doesn't matter
My heart is open
So are my wings
But I haven't learned how to fly yet
Please don't try to understand me or judge me quickly
I hope the world will see
What some have already seen
I'm an amazing person
Just striving to follow my dreams.
This poem was written to just help me cope with what was going on inside of me since no body could understand me, not even myself.
