I don’t want to lie anymore
I’m tired of them yelling at me like they’re Thor
They swing their words at me like they’re Mjolnir
I can hear the dramatic slur
“You are nothing.”
“I wish I was something.”
When I’m alone
The thoughts hit me hard like hailstones
What they say
Is lowkey on display
I try my best to hide it
I refuse to admit
I keep my emotions locked away
I pray they’re not here to stay
Adults ask the same question
I hold in all the depression
I say the same answer
Even though my conscience is like a hammer
It smashes my brain
It keeps my opinion in chains
Instead of being my shoulder to lean on
They treat me like a mute swan
When I show them my plan
It’s like they go ahead and ban
Every thought I gain
 Is
  thrown
    down
      the
        drain.
