hope for morning

raw. unedited emotion. life can suck sometimes, eh?

to act so strong
  when you feel so weak.
to be happy when
  you need to think.
to act so friendly
  when you feel so alone.
to be an adult
  when you know you haven't grown.
to have nowhere to run
  when you feel like screaming.
to have no band-aid
  to stop the bleeding.
to have no one who understands
  just what you're feeling.
to have no oxygen
  to keep your lungs breathing.
to feel like being torn up
  from the inside out.
to have nowhere to head,
  not a single route.
to have no one to guide you
  in the right direction.
to have everyone tell you
  you're nowhere near perfection.
to make your only hope
  to sleep without a sound.
to hope there's something better
  when the morning comes around.

I refuse to be kind just because you can't handle harsher criticism - I'll be kind because this piece deserves it. You are highly talented. This piece has wonderfully fun flow. It captures a wide range of emotion. And yet, it remains structurally sound. Job well done.
