Turning Bad

My mind is set on one thing everyday. A voice in my head says do not let it stay. I think about it everywhere. It appears here and there. Sometimes I think that I am going crazy. I try to compare myself to a daisy, the flower that does not sleep at night. Everyone keeps on telling me that my future is bright, but I wonder if they are all wrong or right. This though cannot disappear in my head and I just cannot ignore the words that had been said. This thought is taking up every space in my mind. I just cannot help it to wonder why some people are so blind, that they cannot see the truth. I can no longer grow any roots. I can no longer shine like a star. I am tired of everyone praising me. I regret pretending that there is nothing wrong with me that others could not see. I wish that I can be as hard as the trunk of a tree, but even that can be cut down. I am falling to the ground. A fake smile on my face does not express what I have been through for the past days.
