Polka Dots and Stripes

I want to crawl away and die

But I don't want to leave my friends

I want to cry

But there's no one to cry for



I want to break things

But I love my possessions

I want to listen to really loud music

But I don't want to wake my sleeping mother



I want to scream

But all I can do is laugh

I want to be miserable

But I have no reason



I want to write about darkness

But all I can see is light

I want to be angry at the world

But it's been good to me



I want to tear at my skin

But I don't like pain

I want to rip out my heart

But I don't want to die



I want to be happy

But I don't want a catch

I want the polka dots

But I don't want the stripes

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The polka dots and stripes analogy makes things a little easier for me.
