Blind
She doesn’t see what I see
Some days I wonder if she even cares about me
She tears me apart without knowing it
Somedays I wonder if we even fit
We fight about grades
And while she forgives my anger never fades
She doesn’t know what I go through every day
And every day another part of me fades away
All because of the unspoken truth
Some days I just have to lie on my floor listening to NF rap
And when I try to tell her what she’s blind to she tells me to sit in her lap
She wants me to be blind too
But I’m not going to let that happen, none of this is new
Her lap is a trap
It holds you til you see things her way
So I run
I go out in the night with no sun
It’s always the cold I use to numb myself
Until I feel right and not strange like an elf
I gave up most of what’s left of me
Just to try and make her happy
But it never works
I know this but I still try even though it hurts
Not all wounds are visible
Mine are almost completely invisible
I don’t want you to know my hurt
Because I don’t want to see you face plant into the dirt
If you knew how I feel every day, you’d be filled with fear
You might not even be here
You might have killed yourself
Because you have not been trained to be a warrior like myself
You have not been trained to fight
You don’t know how to find the light
In a world that has turned its back on you
Well it’s true
If you knew what went on inside my head
You wouldn’t want to leave your bed
All those words that were said
Were probably better left unsaid
You’d wear black all the time
I’m having a bit of a hard time making this rhyme
If you heard the names I’ve been called you wouldn’t want to feel
You’re lucky you at least know how to heal
I hate reality but I can never escape
I lie on the floor like a drape
Sometimes I just have to sit down in one place and hurt
I do this in a tank top because I hate doing it in my shirt
There’s a difference in just saying “I love you” and actually meaning it
I got friends who wonder if their crushes actually like them and it’s legit
I’ve never had a crush
But I’ve heard it all comes in a rush
I’m insecure but yet I’m confident in who I am
I love yet hate who I am
These kinds of emotions are like an ocean empty of care
And most days I’m gasping for air
I’m drowning in these feelings
And it stings
