Why?
i don’t care anymore
i can’t hold on anymore
i don’t love anymore
i can’t breathe anymore
where’s the point to all of this?
where are we all going?
we live by society’s rule
only to be struck down
by society’s rule
since when do we all follow a pattern
a pattern that can’t be broken
for if it’s broken the world shall fall 
a world where we hold in our own emotions, just as we are told
go to school, stay healthy, get good grades, pay attention
the same thing over and over with no breaks
stuck in this cell with no freedom
what is the point?
we aren’t allowed to live
to feel
to love
at even a slight break in the mold, we are outcasts forced to either pretend or let our lives change forever
people’s perspectives forever changed
because of one thought voiced aloud
one simple poem running around in my head written down raised two questions of insanity 
two questions 
two questions stating that I didn’t fit the norm and i need help
when trying to to escape 
i am told i am lazy
when I am trying so hard to hold on to the surface that you call reality
