TRAGEDIES AND THOUGHTS

TRAGEDIES AND THOUGHTS

Paint me in the light of your choosing,

I cannot win for losing,

I took an unfamiliar stand,

Many of you will never understand,

The cataclysm that goes on within my head,

You disregard my words as foolishness instead,

That’s fine by me for you merely conform,

And choose to not become informed,

Of the disease within my mind,

I pray that you it never will find,

I know in my heart of hearts who I am,

It’s always been the me who would lend you a hand,

However, I’ll be damned for those who mock me,

For they know not what sights of horror I see,

It is said try walking in another’s shoes,

Believe me mine are not ones you want to choose,

Everything seems fine to you upon the outside,

But within, from these tragedies and thoughts I cannot hide,

I will not belittle others by words,

Because I do know how they can hurt,

Pain of payment is my cost for living,

Yet that will never stop this heart from giving.
