words are thrown at me so bluntly
time starts to pass so slowly
i wish i could just shake it off
but somehow, im left in this trough
these petty things are breaking me
and this ugliness is all i can see
i am nothing but a horrifying misfit
and i cannot triumph above it
i'm a broken hope, a broken thought
devoured by loneliness and unsought
looking for someone to honestly care
but like myself, it's a hopeless prayer
but please just hand me your false smile
try to look past this face, even if it is so vile
for small words can determine my death
and whether i might take my last breath
so as you hear my laugh and silly chitchat
just know i go so much deeper than all of that
for it's just a cloak to distract you from my face,
the face that no one could ever embrace
*feel free to comment/vote. It would mean a lot to me! Thank you*
