"you are allowed to feel messed up and inside out it doesn't mean you're defective it just means you're human"

but i don't feel anything

and i am just hurting

when i look at them

their smiles in their eyes

when they look at me

my eyes shine

and as my mouth curls into a smile

my heart cries inside

i feel something i tell myself but i know why it weeps

because the darkness will always creep

and find me and that's when it devours me

leaving me so empty i feel nothing

not even a tendril of emotion

so i eat and i just don't stop eating

just to feel something that fills the empty void

that chocolate will make me fat

those sweets will rot my mouth

but i eat them

because no matter what you say

my mouth is bitter from the lies i say everyday

even if it's for a moment i want to taste sweet things

a change from the tasteless words that run laps inside my mind

it runs for me

and as you think you see

my mind is fit and healthy

but look inside

will you never open your eyes

will you never see the real me

can't you see what your words do to me

you destroyed me

then you came to me again and again

apologizing only to hurt me again

but i don't cry because i know i can't bear to see the triumph in your eyes

but watch a movie and that's when i cry

because unlike you i empathize

i always saw that dead look and i hoped i was wrong

but then you made me come closer to you

and confide in you

and then your eyes gleamed unlike the sun in the sky

and that's when

you destroy me all over again

but you talk all that sweet talk

and i'm back in your hands but what i do know

is to conceal all the hurt that burn before my eyes

so i smile at your frown

until my tears are streaming down

while i laugh at the hurt you threw me and i knew you weren't done

so my laugh slowed down

as the pain sunk in

unwillingly i crumpled down
