Depression and Sadness If I paint my walls black,
Does it mean I see the world in black?
If I don’t talk to you or many others,
Does it mean I’m antisocial?
If I keep to myself,
Does it mean that I’m dumb?
If I don’t play sports,
Does it mean I’m non-athletic?
What if I painted my walls white?
What if I talked to all of you?
What if I told you my problems?
What if I played sports?
What would you think?
Would you think I was “cool”?
Huh?
Well,
I won’t do ANY of those things.
Not a thing wrong with being different :) You should always be you no matter what :)
I can understand fully your opinion, i am gothic, and i suffer the musings, and punchings of "popular" culture, and to often i find myself screaming at my ceiling "am i not human too" and crying myself to sleep, after another energetic day of school, in its entirely beautiful fashion of being beaten, yelled at, abused, and threatened at knife point. Its saddens me to know that the problem is on a global level, but also enlightens me to the fact that i am not alone in this world, where those different to the norm are punished. once again, very beautiful and meaningful poetry.
