Coping
I hate when people don’t even
Try to understand
The way I feel inside
“Everyone copes in different ways”
I say
But they won’t listen either way
Some people
Consistently make fun
Of my showers
Say their too long
But is it too long,
If It is where I can breathe?
Is it too long,
If it helps me stay sane?
People can be mean
And I learned that
Far from yesterday
But it still hurts today
Are earplugs such a problem?
Just because its family time
Doesn’t mean I have to suffer
Yeah you understood
Once I explained what they were
But it still hurt
Things are too loud
And they at least muffle it
When It gets to be too much
And I want to sink into the ground
Don’t tell me to stop bouncing my leg
Unless you would rather clean
The mascara off my cheeks
I can’t stop moving
I try I promise
But I break
And its not fake
“You are on your phone all the time”
Would you rather fight
About rights?
I’m on my phone
Not on Tiktok
Because I’m not allowed
But on
Pinterest
Or writing
Or watching some shorts
Don’t knock it till you try it
Cause its all I slide by with
Don’t taunt me
With something that makes me gag and squirm
You know I don’t like it
I hate textures
Of slime and grime
You know that
But its ok
Its just another day
I’m overreacting right?
Most people deal with this stuff day and night
And they are just fine
