the problem with the English language
is that there are not enough words
to describe
how truly sad
I feel
each and every day
stuck at school in a crowd
of people who will never know
who I am
what I can do
or alone at home
shut off from my family
because I don't want to hurt them
although all they want
is to hurt me
until I am perfect in their eyes
or even worse
talking to her
because she makes everything okay
but at some point
I know
that
she
will
leave.
