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
