Relationships

I lay awake,

The days fade away.

I wonder how long it will take,

For me to truly connect with a friend I make.

Effort after effort,

It all leads astray.

They will never understand a mind like mine.

Stick labels on me,

Say they know me,

And make baseless accusations.

Like a poisoned prick stabbed into my skin,

The poke hurts for a moment,

But I am unaware of the poison that will spread through my body.

For years to come,

Its effects will still last.

My trust so easily broken,

I just wanted us to last.

I understand I am different,

But I am glad.

Don't you ever say you know me,

We aren't the same.

Keep my name out of your damn mouth,

You're a fool who doesn't deserve my grace.
