Desperate

This world is cruel
You should be used to it by now
You’ve been bullied since middle school
You’re still hurt but don’t know how

Pining for love
Instead get negative attention
Everything burns
Despite the purest intentions

You deal with so much
Yet your lips say so little
Can’t catch a break or speak up
You can’t have your acquittal

You retrieve your broken pieces
And behind you close the door
Piece together your heart
Don’t share it anymore

Transparency isn’t welcome
It causes discomfort
Don’t tell me the truth
Because you don’t want me to be hurt?

I’d rather know I’m hated
Than be wrapped up in your lies
Contrary to what you believe
It’s not warm and fuzzy inside

Listen to me when I say
You know that I’m a fighter
I must become strong with myself
To make the world feel lighter

Very true lines below.
" I’d rather know I’m hated
Than be wrapped up in your lies
Contrary to what you believe

I like honest people. Better to show dislike than fake face and smile. Thank you E.J. for sharing the amazing words and thoughts.

Wow, this is excellent writing, some obvious talent here. Your description of word vomit does not fit this piece, every word seems so thoughtful
