This poem is called "It Can't Stop Us" and I wrote it when I was 14. I thought all u sad f***in emos would like it xoxoMy existence is a nightmare that plays through the minds of my family, Each morning seems like I roll the dice to see how I’m going to feel, How I’m going to act that day Sometimes I use weighted dice in hopes that my day will be fine, That maybe, I’ll want to be alive, But cheating in this game has consequences, That's why I lay in bed each night staring at the wall, My tears staining the pillow beneath my head, Darkness, The shadow in the corner of my room consumes me, I’m dragged by my feet, Hanged by my wrists, Demons dance through my dreams, Synchronized schemes to keep me on edge, But that can’t stop me. She puts on a happy face, Surrounds herself with happy people, She loads work onto herself so she doesn’t have to think about how sad she really is, Her life is a treasure, And treasure is often stolen, They try to take it away, But that can’t stop her. He hides his body from the world, In his eyes it’s ugly, No one wants to see the scars, The memories of a forgotten child, People say he’s a freak, That he’s crazy for thinking the way that he does, But that can’t stop him. We are the freaks, The fools, We are the psychos and the basketcases, We are the ones who knock on your door, But you don’t answer, We are the ones who ask for help, But you say it’s no big deal, You say get over it, It’s just a bad day, We are the ones who hide in the darkness, We are the ones who are too afraid to ask for help, Because you told us to get over it, We are the ones who have too many emotions, or none at all. We are the ones who feel pain just to feel it, We are the ones you are afraid of. But that can’t stop us. No, that can’t stop us, Because we know how we feel, We take care of each other, We listen to each other, Because nobody else will. We suffer through each day, We are consumed by the pain, But that can’t stop us from living our lives
