My eyes

They burn

My mind

It hurts

Hypocrisy

Beating at my heart

Lies

Making my heart not want to beat

Stop it

Please, stop it

I just want to survive this world

I just want to survive this world

And then she came

The stability, the peace

The wonder, the care

She was unique in my life.

There is hope

Though my day-to-day is at stake

I hope my life will be good

And one day I'll be free

Free to care

To love

To help.

Because right now, that's hated.

I struggle and I stumble

And it is oh so hard

But life is not pointless

I make my own meaning

And when others hate it

Hate me for who I am

Hate me for being scared,

Or lost,

Or forgotten,

Or timid,

Or careful,

Or caring,

Or kind,

Or giving,

Or loving,

When others hate when I'm like that

I question why

Should I change?

Should they change?

They hated me,

So maybe I should change,

Because I have never hated them.
