In my world the grass is red

and they sky is yellow

 

Trees are ants

and ants are flowers

 

Bruises are love bites

and tears are sugar

 

My world is a dark abyss

yours is like dancing on a rainbow

 

Kisses are like burning metal to my skin

 

People walk on their knees

and talk with their lips closed

 

the King is the beggar

and the knight is the princess

 

Reality isn't real

and Fantasy is only dreaming

 

People only make wishes when they are dead

 

Knives are made for pain

Cuts are what makes us happy

 

The wisest aer the dead

And the horses are the heroes

 

This is my world


The author's comments:

I was 14 when I had written this and I had been in a very dark place. During that time, I had felt no one could understand how I felt about life. I had written this poem to unleash the difference I felt in myself compared to the "normal" teenager. I was bullied, depressed, and felt very alone at that point in my life. Sharing this makes me feel joy in my heart because I had realized a couple years later that no matter the pain you feel, there is always someone in the world who feels that exact pain you felt or the hopless feeling of being alone through a tough time. Remember, no matter how different you are, always be you. You may see blue grass or pink grass, but no matter what, people always see grass.
