Daily Routine

There are days you have to conquer
When everything goes wrong
From the morning breakfast
To the evening prayer

There are people you have to face
Although you don't want to be affected
By their prejudices
And their fake pride

There are times you have to pretend deafness
Knowing that absolutely nothing's true
Nor their first
Neither their last bitter words

There are invisible patches you will need
When everything feels like a slap in the face
From the early rising
To the nightly setting sun

There are days you have to smile
Even no one's caring
And even if it's just
To prove yourself that you can do it

Title: My Curse

My Curse

You don’t know how many times I want to yell at you
Stand up and scream in your ignorant face
When you’re telling me how proud you are
That I’m holding up, with your help and support

You don’t know how many times I want to cry
Because it hurts so, so much
To see you standing right in front of me
Knowing you will never get it

You don’t know how many times I hurt myself
Thinking I’m not worth the air I’m breathing
But then there’s times I think “Why not?”
Just because I’m not like you?

You don’t know how many times I curse
That I changed so much in so little time
That sometimes I don’t recognize myself
When I look into the mirror and see my hollow eyes

You don’t know how many times I need you
Wanting to really understand me
Just one look that says “I’ll catch you”
One simple movement, telling me “It’s gonna be okay”

You don’t know that I know you’re always pretending to be there
You don’t know that I know that you don’t really care
You don’t know that I know you better than you do yourself

It just hurts that no one ever loves enough to dig until they hit the core,
You know?

I thought you would
At least
A tiny
Little
Bit
At all
