Self Expression (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 10

Growing up was hard knowing I was different

I was up and then I was down

But it only took a matter of seconds

I was a ticking time bomb that didn't make a sound

 

When I was 16 the doctor said

"You suffer from depression and anxiety"

For the first time I felt relieved

Now I had the answer to my inner rivalry

 

So I embraced my dark side

And put a couple of strings of light around it

Then called it "self expression"

That's when I knew it was as good as it gets

 

So I swallowed my little blue pill everyday of the week

And the marks on my arm let everyone know I was insane

I let them stare, talk, and laugh

After all, life is nothing but a fatal game

 

Now I ink my skin and travel the world

Because I learned that life is too cruel to not do what you please

I call it self expression

And I'm the owner of the master keys

Today is world mental health day. Don't forget to show some affection to those who need it most!
