there’s this gaping hole
in my heart
yet they never noticed I was
bleeding.
my heart bleeds
a mess of jumbled-up
sentences.
they tell me this
sadness is
temporary
yet I see it in their eyes
the
concern
as the therapist asks me about the past four years
as my heart bleeds
a mess of jumbled-up
sentences.
more medication, she says
as if chemicals and logic can cure
emotions
as if a pill can stop the bleeding
my heart bleeds
a mess of jumbled-up
sentences.
no words
can explain
my pain.
-Lucy
The school board tells us lies
Promising that they understand
Yet they don’t know
What it’s like
To live in a world
Where you are seen yet never understood
I would never admit it, but
I’m broken. I have lived through a hell you only see in your nightmares. I was born into a world of agony and have stayed silent on the darkest of nights.
There are many moments
Where I don’t feel
Deserving
Of the attention
Today I’m reminding myself
Of how far I’ve come,
All the years I’ve spent
Living in pain
