Why Can't People Hear Me Cry? 3-3-18

Turning 16 in two weeks,
Problems with handling stress.
I've been told I'm perfect.
The greatest girl in the world,
But I am not.

I struggle with my anger,
My sadness,
And my loneliness.
I get fed up,
I get so upset with myself...
I just don't know how to relieve it,
So I find a blade,
I get relieved as the blood wells up to the top of the skin.

I calm down,
And just cry,
Because I regret what I have done.
It's a sad thing,
But what can you do?

Anger makes it worst,
The tears just burn into your skin.
Hugs just make you more upset.
Bitter words are ready to be spat out.
No one can help,
Even if they tried,
It just wouldn't help.

Why does everything must be hard,
And painful?
I am like a normal teenaged girl,
Just hormones racing and emotions burning.

Why can't you just disengrate into the dark universe?
There you could rest your mind,
Your insecurities,
And your problems.
It would be phenomenal if we could.
