Life..
No one knows what lays beneath or what it is I can be
There is an identity below that you can't see
I contain a series of layers you don't know exist
I am not an ordianry kid, I dont fit on a list
Struggles I've gone through are not one of a kind
But not knowing what to do almost losing my mind
Different because these obstacles I have conquered
Though my life for the most part has been full of torture
Being bragged about doesnt always feel so good
Your parents don't always treat you the way they should
Being put down and being told you never could
And every time you'd cry yourself to sleep cuz you were down
Felt the world take over you and wanting to drown
When love hurt like a need under your skin
All you could do is cry because of the pain
Being surrounded by every one and feeling the lonelyest peron on earth
That when everything seemed to fall you feel your biggest mistake is birth
The thoughts that roam my head have been thought of before
But not from me not from one with another identity
When will I feel safe?
From the world full of hurt?
When will I stop crying?
Will it be the day I stop trying?
Im trying to survive the struggles life lays ahead of you
Not having one to tell you what to do
Let me slowly think of the words that I will last say
While I wait for my final day
