The Repression of Oppression
By devilsrighthand
What are we supposed to do
On those days that our insides scream
Scream to be heard, to be let out
To be remembered, brought back to the surface
The ones that never let you go
They never let you be
They scratch and pry at your mind
And your heart
Until you break, until your mind cracks
And they pour out, all at once
Everything you’ve tried so hard to suppress
Out.
Red, wet eyes
“It’s just allergies”
But you know better than that
You know the lies you spill
Every morning, every night
“I’m fine, thanks”
But really you’re dying
Screeching for attention
The attention you will never get
Not the top of your class?
Don’t speak to me until you are
“I’m trying my hardest”
But they don’t believe it
Not for a second, not the slightest
No matter what you say
What you think
What you dream
You will always be wrong
A nobody
A nothing.
But don’t let people get you down,
No, don’t let them corrupt you,
Instead
Let them build you
Make you stronger
With their words of hate
Build a wall of steel
A fortress of your mind
And always keep the gate closed,
Because if something gets in,
It will never be out.

impenetrable. i used to think being able to be vulnerable was strength. i don't know what to believe anymore. either way, i wish you could see yourself through my eyes. this is resilient, resonant, so well crafted. i miss you.

It doesn't matter what other people think. You shouldn't care about what they say because after all, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. So don't get hurt by what they say; think of it as you being better than them. Well written, keep up the good work.
