"Be happy." They say.
I can't.
"At least pretend to be."
Why?
"Because no one likes a sad person."

Smoking lips

Pain inside curls up in cramps
And so to the window I go.
I watch the cars and people go by
Like a circus running a show.
I light up and breathe in hard and fast
******* the ash to my soul.
Disgusting and dark it doesn't cut out
Or come close to filling the hole.
But on I puff the cinders glow red
And quickly come to an end
And right until my finger ends burn
And the smoke itself starts to bend.
I smoke one, and two and three and four
Trying to find some spice
To fill that freezing emptiness inside
And melt my heart made of ice.

Too Young

bcg poetry
I'm too young.
I'm too young to have all of these feelings and ideas.
I'm too young to have already felt love.
I'm too young to have already felt loss.
I'm too young to have experienced the level of trauma that forces me to have flashbacks.
I'm too young to wake up in the morning and get out of bed solely out of habit.
I'm too young to feel this sad and this lost.
I'm too young.
We all are.
