In shadows I walk
Whispers pierce my fragile heart
Laughter stings like knives
Locked in a cruel cage
Each hallway a battlefield
Dreams fade in the dark
Mirror's cruel gaze stares
Fingers trace the scars of pain
Beauty lost in shame
Lunchroom filled with eyes
Silence shouts louder than screams
Isolation's grip
Pages of my life
Heavy with the weight of fear
Hope feels just beyond
But deep within me
A flicker-resilient spark
Yearning to break free
Each bruise tells a tale
Of strength hidden beneath tears
A heart's silent fight
Tomorrow's a door
A chance to rise from the ash
To reclaim my voice
With every heartbeat
I learn to love the lost parts
Healing in the light
High school hell can't hold
The spirit that dares to soar
Wings made from the scars

Villainized
PoetryVillainized is a collection of poems that delves into my personal hell and the struggles I've faced. I am not the hero of my narrative; a minor side-character? Perhaps. The villain? Maybe. The interpretation is yours to decide.
