What happened???"
"I wish I knew but I don't..."
"Surely something made you this way!"

And I hope you're right
Am I faking it, just for attention?
But I pretend to be fine, satisfied that they don't notice
I'm just being dramatic then!!!
But I've never complained to anyone and I can't seem to cry anymore
It's all in your head

"It's all in your head"
"What?!"
"I mean how do not have a reason??? You're probably faking it! What are you not getting the attention you want from everyone!?!"

Is she right?
No it's like...

Stacking Shuffling Shaking

Stacking Shuffling Shaking

Black Bruises. Cold Cuts.
Dark blotches reflect the soul
Illuminating to the eye

Shakiness turns to stiffness
The body follows through paralyzing
Red rapidly runs
The red always has the chance to escape
For routine restricts intolerance

Dark red roses, yet vibrant to my eyes, lock my attention.
Blinded of everything but the roses.
It's irresistible to keep myself from picking it off its roots and capture its addicting scent.
Even as the thorns bite me and blood runs down my fingers, the beauty distorts the pain.
I become attached
Water it every day
Still that's not enough apparently.....
The petals lower their heads in disappointment and run out of pigment
What could I do?
Should I get another rose?
Or was this bound to happen.
I am probably going to shatter...

Your bubbly foam tides tickle my feet softly.
You wave so excitedly and even from afar I see a warm glowing star peek behind you.
You introduce me to unique gifts of nature.
Like stars I could never reach from the sky.
I stride through the tides warmed up by the sunset's golden beams.
Currents make me flow swiftly as if I have become your boat.

The diamonds embedded in the water twinkle to distract me of searching the shoreline.
I've gotten heavier.
I start to hyperventilate.
Poseidon's anchor drags my ankles.
I am deprived of control. ...
