IF ALONE WAS A THING.

IF ALONE WAS A THING.

A Poem by @burning
"

Healing begins the moment you stop pretending you aren`t hurt...

"
They say, if something breaks and the pieces are big,
It can be mended again...
I don`t think that`s  the case with my heart tho`;
It is broken beyond repair.
I actually wonder how I am still alive.
At this point, my heart, crushed as it is, lacks he ability to pump blood.
`Tis actually funny how calling it quits is the only option
But I lack the guts to do it, 
Because I have so much s**t I want to manifest.
So I have to choose living a fake life.
Yap, fake seems better.
Always saying, "I`m fine" when I`m not;
And," It`s okay" when it`s not.
I guess authenticity is easier said than lived
My face is forced to hold a smile;
While underneath, my inner self holds an up-side-down one.
I know right now that if tears had colors my hankies would be rainbows.
But I still won`t let anyone see that side of me.
I decide masking that off with black as my favorite color.
I end up freakish asf.
Sadly, that turns the people I thought I`d have forever off.
So they end up leaving without a reason.
I think that gives me a right to say that backs love me more than faces do.
Cause everyone turns their back on me; especially when I need them the most.
That leaves me agraphobic, I cant stand people anymore.
I can`t wait to finish school, pack up and leave.
Every sort of pain I have felt was associated with a human being somehow,
How I hope ALONE is a thing; `cause that`s what I need.
