No Surrender

I may act tough but i’m not okay. People think i’m a robot, without emotion. They never ask how i’m doing. I lay awake at night, struggling to combat nightmares. I remain alone as pieces of my heart scatter all over. People want me to run away and never come back.

I hate the noise but I need it. Noise means busy. Quiet means lonely and silence. I try to hide but it finds me. People laughing at my failure. The voices consume me. Failure is what they want, it’s what i see
