Poem

Hey guys, sorry about the dark subject matter here, this is a poem I wrote.

Life
It ain’t easy
Trying to scrape by
Going out in public and trying not to cry

You look around wondering
If everybody knows
What really goes on
When you’re at home

Seeing you little brother hide away shaking
As a fist flies through the wall
You try and comfort him and distract him from the screams
You imagine you’re off somewhere else
Maybe flying through space
But you can’t stop the tears from running down your own face

And the pain, it hurts
The blood drips down your arms
While you sit and fall apart
Holding onto the pieces of your shattered heart

Life away from home is no break either
People never treat you right
All they ever seem to do is look for a fight

They don’t see you for you
They poke and they tease
And the rejection...it kills
Cos life’s tough when you got no social skills

Sometimes you start to wonder
What’s the use?
Why keep carrying on when life itself seems like a noose?
