Acting Sane

Acting Sane.

Already have I proven I am sane,
Unfortunately not always is that good,
You look this way,
You glare and stare,
What do you see when you look at me,
Am I some sort of monster?
Is that what makes you stare so..
Can’t you see past all this?
It’s all an act,
A show for you,
The light behind my eyes,
It’s all made by my anger and hatred,
A loving caring child,
A happy, cheerful friend,
All a lie,
All to make you happy,
Not so selfish as to think,
I am the only one here,
Help me out,
I'm screaming in pain,
I'm crying for help,
Take away all the blades,
Hide all the ropes,
Throw away all the pills,
I'll find another way out,
Lock me in my room,
There’s always something there,
I am only sane,
Like the rest of this world,
No not so different from you,
Just trying to be myself,
Trying to find my way,
Trying not to scream,
Not to fear the unseen,
Not the time to run,
Not he time to hide,
But it’s all happening now,
Can’t change the past,
Can’t see the future,
I'm sane I've proven that,
Turn away,
I don’t need this hatred,
I don’t need this anger,
But still painted clear,
It’s all to blunt,
The way you keep away,
I know you hate me,
I know you wish me dead,
Maybe one day I'll get the guts,
And go through and make you wish truth.
