I don’t know the first thing about what living a balanced life feels like

 

When I am sad

 

I do not cry,

 

It’s been years since I’ve had the strength to let myself cry about anything

 

Crying is tears slowly burning my face with memories

 

I refused that

 

Instead

 

I pour

 

Like the rain I feel forever close to

 

But the same rain that also burns in my heart like a fire

 

How can rain burn?

 

Twisted realities

 

When I am happy

 

I don’t ever smile

 

I will glow

 

They would compose it like a burning flame

 

I will compose it like the sound of rain

 

The glow of a summer’s night and not a summer’s day

 

When I am angry

 

I don’t yell,

 

 I burn.

 

Of course not like a fire

 

I burn like the beaten flesh of my past

 

They would say haunting or even that I am haunted

 

Blessings and sacrifices

 

Nothing will taint me

 

I let the past paint me

 

The muse in love with the pain in my beauty

 

The good about feeling in extremes is

 

When I love

 

I give them all wings

 

But perhaps

 

That isn’t such a good thing

 

Because

 

They always tend to leave

 

That isn’t even the sad part

 

The reality in it

 

Is , knowing they will clip their own wings

 

And you should see me when my heart is broken

 

I don’t grieve anything

 

Yet I have lost more than everything

 

I shatter.

 

He would expect for me to not know how to mend myself

 

They were always wrong
