Light is only so bright when shadows are solded to the floors and walls around you, a metaphorical hell seeps into your eyes and mind as darkness turns into a playground for the damned and lost souls.
Only shining light onto our mishapes, pain, and "illness".
Being mentally ill sucks.
Mentally different from those around you
Stuck in a different mindset
Drugged to be normal but the pain of not being accepted lingers in the dark.
Supressing my thoughts, showing the wrong an flaws, wanting us to believe it isn't all that bad (their help),constantly convincing those that think differently need help.
Never embracing the uniqeness within that single mind, honing on the problems.
Outraged mentally, unable to express that im silenced because im different.
Tears only drop because no one cares to understand, laughed at because thoughts fly from my mouth at 200mph as my imagination strangles me, my filter broken and cursed with words spewing from my blessing we call our voices, yet im silenced for the one thing that makes me human...
My mind.
- Tyler James

why I should have listened
PoésieThis is a direct journey into my mind through poems, most inspired by pain others created through pure thought and draft. I hope to push forth and express the emotions brought into each poem.. or to leave a sense of ecstacy. Enjoy!
