You write down the words Get them out of your head You try to ignore the hurt and instead You turn towards the numbness And cut away the pain But what has become this Now it's all the same.

People say I shouldn't be alone That it mustn't be good for me I should go outside, playful and happy But I've grown so used to the shadows And the dark. They've taken up root inside my heart, filling my chest with death and Decay. it's funny actually. Those people Made me this way.
"It's okay. You'll be alright." "..." "A number doesn't define you. A test score doesn't define you. You're greater than that." "Tell that to the people who decided that cramming 70+ questions on a sheet of paper and saying I should know and answer everything in 10 minutes is a good plan to judge if I'm a good and knowledgeable person. Tell that to the people who pay thousands upon thousands to get into college. Tell that to the people who stay up for hours and hours trying to pass an exam they'll forget about the next week. Tell that to the people who are pure geniuses and have the privilege to go anywhere and do anything. Tell that to the business bosses who won't even glance my way unless I have a bachelors degree. Tell those people that a number doesn't define me. They won't listen. They'll look at my skin and look at my gender and look at the number that has graded me for 12+ years and say ' I'm sorry. You aren't qualified. ' That simply isn't how the world works and I simply don't fit in."
