Rumors

They can be deadly. . .

A fresh start, awesome new friends to make.

Everyone talks- there’s nowhere to hide.

They lie and say they are on my side.

They tell me to not be opaque.

New memories are made. Of course they were fake!

Rumors spread so I had slowly died inside.

Fear, Hate, Tears- I knew there was no way to make

The cuts disappear from sight, now they can hide

From the very start, I knew I was not awake;

Oblivious to everything on the outside.

Nobody bothers to ask me why I had cried.

Time and time again I am told I’m a mistake,

To go die and bear every mistake I make.
