Must I Help Myself Worsen

Worse
How do you make someone worse or better
I believe it depends on their character
What they believe
Who they are around
What they've seen
But I want to do both
Be worse than what they expect
Be better than what the rest accept
Which one do I overtake
No one will tell 
No one can help
I don't tell anyone
They will not understand
People will only think I'm crazy
Psycho
Insane
Or just joking
It makes me so damn angry
Kids at school say they have issues
They need pills
They need therapists even when they aren't dealing with anything nor themselves
They just think it's cool
They think it's funny
I am struggling with people's words
I'm struggling but wanting to strive with my soul that is caged in my bones
But what do I do
I won't speak
Who will I tell
How do I explain all these days what I've been thinking
Will I remember what I need to say
Where are those memories
Keep them here
You will end up in a mental facility
You will be in jail
You will only be killed
They will not understand you
They don't know you
You don't even know you
I don't know who I am
Why even try to explain what I am
