Trying to open

It’s so hard to open up…
As I’ve been shutdown so much…
So many times…
I try…
But my own mind…
Thinks and speaks all the weird things…
That weird them out…
Please hear me out…
As they walk away…
And I they fade away…
Into my dark place…
Where all these memories accumulate…
Whole books and torn pages…
Meant to turn…
Bear witness to my pains…

Every time I try…
Every time I try…
I keep getting denied…
Why???
Why???
Shut it down…
Forever…

You…
You are a good person…
You are not defined by others…
Yes I know you seek love…
And acceptance…
And friendship…
And feel so alone…
Just know as you walk this road…
Wondering when to stop…
And lose all hope…
No light…
Only shadow…
Cast by the beings…
Who choose to ignore…
This good person…
Who remains unknown….

There must be more…
There must be more…
And you are more…
It’s doesn’t matter if they don’t know…
Or care…
It has no bearing on your soul…
You are a good person…
And that is what you must know…
