So called 'twisted'

They called me twisted,

Said that something was wrong with me.

Is there?

Is there really something wrong with the things I wish to voice?

I wrote things down. 

About how some people we trust the most,

Can stab us in the back.

Or how I wish that women weren’t suppressed when they wish to say something.

They told me that these topics were fine,

They even supported them.

But the way that I say it,

They say it’s twisted,

When I leave some ambiguity, 

For others to decide what it means.

And when I have all of these thoughts swirling around in my head,

What am I supposed to do?

They called me twisted.

Maybe I am.

But these so called ‘twisted’ thoughts and words,

Could give somebody hope,

In a so called ‘twisted’ way.

They say I’m twisted.

Maybe I am.

But these so called ‘twisted’ words,

Are mine.

And if that makes me twisted, 

then so be it.

  • Can you see me?

    There's an oversized panda bear sitting on my bed right now.

    Normally I don't even think about it.

    Why would I?

     

    But right now I am.

    And it made me think

    can it see me?

    does it think about me?

  • I could be

    I could be writing right now

    about fairytales;

    princesses, and dragons,

    magic, and the prince that comes to save her.

     

    But life isn't a fairytale for anybody, 

    so why write about them?

  • In Case You Forgot

    Today,

    I saw a poster on my math teacher's door.

     

    It said, You never know what somebody's going through. A little bit of kindness can brighten up their whole day!
