"Well it rains, and it pours when you're out on your own, If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes, 'cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk I suppose, if it looks like I'm laughing, I'm really just asking to leave this alone"<br /> <br /> if you know what song this is, you're amazing<br /> if you don't, you're still pretty great


I am a kitchen sink

Water, like tears, 

Run freely

 

I am a run down house

You don't know what that means

I might look like I'm in

Good condition

On the outside

But, the inside is a whole different story

Dark, just barely functioning

Scary

Creepy

No hope for it

 

I am an old basement

You have no clue what is inside

You're probably afraid to find out

It's full of cobwebs and spiders

The door was left open, for all kinds of dangerous things to fill it

 

My mind is a jungle

Full of man killing animals

Maybe there are nice things as well

But everybody focuses on the beasts

It's full of venomous snakes

And spiders

Venomous snakes and spiders that hold enough venom to kill 20 grown men

 

Spiders crawled inside

Where it was once bright

That place is now dark

Full of webs

They made themselves at home

 

I am a lost cause

 

I may seem fine

I will say that I am fine

But your definition of fine

Is not the same as mine

 

To you, "fine" might mean "okay"

To me, "fine" is so much less than "okay,"

Or maybe more

Because it's more words

But not the best feeling 

 

I'm fine though, trust me

 

If fine is dead on the inside

Being torn more and more by the second

Being haunted by my own demons

Being tortured mentally

Mentally abused 

Crying myself to sleep

 

Music is the best escape

From life

Which is hell

Just, on Earth

Instead of the after life


The author's comments:

 I want all the kids who feel this way to know, you are not alone. None of us are. No matter what, there will always be someone who feels similar to how you do. Some of us aren't the best at expressing our feelings. I draw, and I just started writing to express my feelings. Self harm isn't going to solve anything. No matter what it is that is wrong, it shall pass. I have been through many things. I have had my worst fears and nightmares become my reality. I never imagined I would be where I am right now, but I am here. I never thought I would be the person I am today.
