When you love differently

Ocean

Story


I want to tell you

That you are beautiful

But that would feel like an insult

For you are so much more than beautiful.

But not telling you

That you are beautiful

Might be the worst thing one could do

To try and honor you.

Some people are too good to be complimented by small words.

Sometimes I wish to be cold

From the bottom of my heart.

To grow old

Without getting hurt.

I wish I had been silent

Everytime I spoke my heart.

Because in the end

I always regret.

But I won’t change myself

My love is silent but strong.

Won’t put my feelings on a shelf

Being cold is wrong.

I need help

My mood is bad

My thoughts are scary

My mind is sad.

I am overwhelmed.

With school

With money

With people.

I try to stand on top

But I fall behind.

This needs to stop

So please be kind.
