Daily chaos

Every day at school is chaos.

The noise

The people

So that I don’t break down.

So that I seem to be fine even though I am hiding a part of myself that I can never escape.

Something that I have had my whole life.

Something I can’t do a damn thing to change.

So I just want people to get off my back.

To just leave me alone so that I can get through the day.

But they don’t because they don’t give a damn.

Because why would they?
