Emulated from Where I’m From By George Ella Lyon
I’m from a land of shadows and gloom
Blood splattered walls and shattered sanity
I’m from a place of unknown struggles and cries of pain
I’m from a darkened mind which begs to be understood;
Forever trying to reason with others but always failing to do so
Beaten memories and broken dreams line the walls of a carnival fueled by my ideas.
Entrails coat the crumbling walls like blood dipped streamers
caused from a past birthday party of mine, in which no one showed
Tossing about the brittle bones of victims,
which are taken forcefully by my slender hands
Long winter nights filled with my silent screams fading into the endless void, never to be heard
I’m from blistering flames of envy and fear
I’m from the shambles of love and death, equally balanced on the scale of my life
Busted blood clots and soft, pink cotton candy dreams violently interject each other within my mind
causing mental hurricanes which leave my head in ruins and tears upon my cheeks, burning into the skin like acid
I’m from a normal family- unlike me
The odd one out
Always the freak that spends her time alone
Writing about the suffering of herself and others
and never telling anyone about her pain
They would never understand me; I was always aware of that fact
I am the weird one in every group
No one wants to talk to me unless they have to
She is a blank face that hides so much emotion
I’m from a realm of unrequited love
Always a crush
and never anything more
One day I will understand that I will always and forever be alone, as I should be…
If it is true that I am crazy
I will be my crazy self with pride
Nothing can change me
