Misunderstood

3/1/2016

Comments

 
Please get me away from this man in the fucking mirror
I want to make one thing clear 
I'm not who he says I am 
He drinks venom and spits poison into the world 
And his baggage is too heavy for me to hold 
I need to drop him off 
Put him on the edge of a cliff
Kick him off and never look back 
I'll walk away with a smile
Only stop so I can hear the splat 
Listen to the silent mourns, they're nonexistent
He just fades into the nothingness
Nobody will miss him
Nobody really knew him at all
He was just a shell of a man 
Walked around with big eyes and no vision 
He spoke big words with no action 
He exercises his tongue
But never goes for a run 
He's a paraplegic with two healthy legs
He spills ink on a page the whole day
Never shuts the fuck up
Yet says nothing at all
His heart beats, but it beats for nothing 
He speaks, but he speaks to no one 
He reaches his hand out for help, but nobody's near 
He just breaths in his own air 
He feels like he's speaking in tongues 
Nobody understands 
He's shouting
The silence rings through the air 
He's grasping 
The world slips away from his finger tips 
The voices are taunting 
The fingers are pointed in his direction 
The air has turned into laughter 
He can't breath 
His face is turning red 
Then somebody turns to him and says 
One day they will understand ​
