Inside Out (Free verse) by etherealmaiden
Dark places
Hatred in faces
Tears at night
An endless fight
Lonely, forgotten hours
Lovely, dead flowers
Depression, a room in your heart
Taking over, part by part
First the brain, the ears, the eyes
Then the mouth begins to tell lies
âIâm fine, iâm okayâ is what you say
But it isnât what you meant to convey
Soon itâs âjust leave me alone!â
Friends â like parts falling- you wish you could have sewn
Them back next to you
But you canât
You see people pointing
Their faces evil and daunting
And as you are walking
You hear people talking
About you and your attitude
People become rude
Friends become foes
Happy highs go to awful lows
Inside you are crying
Outside you pretend, you are lying
You appear proud and arrogant
But that isnât what you meant
You wanted, expected them to see your pain
Know that Inside everything is messed up, insane
But they canât see that
Because on the outside everything âis fineâ
