signs

people won't read signs
handed to them on a platter
made of silver, or gold
it will never really matter

look straight through them,
draw the curtain
look at what doesn't matter
but they still want an explanation

refuse to see the signal
that I have on my blinker
plow through the path
ignore the hook, line, and sinker

refuse to see the lead ballerina
center front on the stage
look to the background dancers for the story
but won't turn the page

so many signs
strewn through in plain sight
look in corners and nooks
but never towards the light

splinter

ask for something to write with
get handed a pencil
ask why it's not a pen,
but can't just be thankful

hand them a pencil
why isn't there an eraser?
ask why it isn't sharp
it turned me into a pacer

don't see the chips, cracks, and flaws
ask why it gave them a splinter
don't smooth the shards
and don't ask for another

but never mind that,
they wouldn't get one anyways.
I gave away my last pencil
hoping someone would smooth the frays

however





thoughts
mostly keep them to myself
too strange,
wouldn't be comprehensible
however-
sometimes they come flowing out
gushing, rushing, fleeting after they are said,
on to the next.
I end up explaining my ADHD
but I don't care because they never spoke before
and never will again, not near me
I am made the outcast
every. time.
just like in the past.

thank you to my 2 readers! I never really thought anyone would ever find this, much less check multiple times to see my work šŸ™‚ it means so much to me, thank you!

Maria

Maybe she'll learn
to accept others' faults
and let us live our lives
or not.

After all
it seems to her
that our lives
are hers

Right at the end 
of the line
she follows us
to the final conclusion

I'm nearing the promontory
might have to jump off
just to escape
her

At my wits end
take a deep breath
one foot off the cliff
then...

unavoidable

"you're being different
just to stand out
you aren't quirky
get over yourself"

they ignore
your cry for help
and say
that you
are
looking
for
attention

they will never know
or feel
or hear
the pain
in your brain

what they ignore
is how you want
to be like them
not surreal
how you wish to blend in
and not stick
out

you can't help
what makes you
you
not like others
it's unavoidable
try not to listen
find a way out
of your head.

a prison
unescapable
ridden with disease
adhd
anxiety
you will find a way out.
no matter what.

no matter which way
don't fall prey
to the demons
in your head

A Preface To Stupidity

I write poetry to express how I am feeling. I see a therapist, but I only see her every 2 weeks, and many breakdowns can happen in 2 weeks. So not all of my poetry rhymes, some are really long, some are really short, and some are stupid. But I’m trying to raise my self confidence, and not care what other people think, so I will post ALL of my poetry that I write and complete. šŸ™‚
