images around me began to twirl delirious images of a little girl no fever no flu adults no nothing at all to do. rest they say, and you'll feel okay i rest and i rest day after day. odd things i imagine that seem so real cause me pain no one knows i feel i feel like i'm drowning in the stuffy air i feel like no one really does care. i need cool air, i need to breathe i wish everyone around me would just go away and leave i want to stay and have some place to go no one understands that, that i know. no one understands me or the things that i do a cut in the wrist, not one, but two. insanity craziness adolscense they say i feel okay, sometimes, but not today. i want to be sick, odd sounding i know i want to stay home with no place i have to go. no doctor no one no adult around i want to be alone in silence without a sound. i want many things that do not make sense i am sometimes cool yet unexplainably sometimes tense i want someone to talk to, that will sometimes go away someone that is there to talk everyday. but i want to be alone with no one near so i can enjoy the darkness, and not shed a tear i want many things that are out of my grasp loneliness and friendliness and someone to clasp. call me crazy call me insane call me anything anything my name but promise me you'll be there to talk and hug and really care.
Reason for writing:
i wrote this poem, just now, because it's what i want. my parents are confused and think they've lost control of me. sometimes i feel like i've lost control, too, and can't breathe. it's what i want. will you be the one i can talk to? do you really care? if you do, will you mail me?
