A Million Voices

A million voices
Flood my head
Their vile words
Echoing

A million voices
Condemn my actions
Telling me
I’m not enough

A million voices
Repeat their words
Their words which
Cut so deep

A million voices
But a few stand out
As people whom
I know and love

A million voices
Mimic my loved ones
Speaking things
They’d never say

A million voices
I know they’re not real
But on days like
Today
It’s hard to believe
When a million voices
Are torturing me

  • It Gets Better

    Sometimes
    I wake up
    And I just can’t
    I can’t get up
    I can’t go to school
    I can’t go get my meds
    Why?
    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself

  • Besties

    Before we bonded

    Bullies belittled me

    And it broke my heart

    Because I felt it in my bones

    But now that we belong

    With each other's beautifully 

    Breathtaking selves

    Their words don't break
