DIARY 010 - a poem
by. nazaaha penick
i told and i prayed we’re different
our words slip through our tongues
What’s the difference between nail polish remover,
bandaids, and our blue silhouettes?
and I’m tired of pretending to know heartache
the truth is I don’t think i'm deserving
to have my heart touched
and for someone to care and hate so much
i know, there is ink stains on the brown carpet floor
and I will always need to prove myself first.
before anything else.
i know angst is a facade I hide behind
to feel something close to being
something close to being recognized.
please don’t take apart everything that I’ve ever loved in life.
this the first time I want to stay alive
To be alive
To be alive
To be alive
To be alive
