The Oxymoron That Is Me.

Flowing and pulsing, spinning around,
My head hurts, I hear every sound,
I take it in, and process the noise,
And quickly deprive it of any joys.

It's what I do, it's who I am.
At this point in my life, I don't give a damn.
It's all about the next high, the next ride,
The next enjoyment, the next tide.

Inside I could be breaking down, but I'll never shed a tear,
I could be scared witless, but I'll never show my fear.
I did that once, and never again.
I'm no longer who I was back then.

Cut me open, dissect me, and sort me out piece by piece,
No problems will be solved, your confusion will only increase.
I'm either a miracle, or doom, and you'll learn that fast.
And I refuse to be labeled by my past.

Try to take me down a notch, and I'll rip you apart,
Because I had someone do that once, and for awhile I had no heart.
It was stolen, and taken away, to a land of destruction,
And making myself a new one, took a hell of a lot of construction.

I'm at the point where I won't take shit from anyone,
At the point where if I pull the short straw again, I'm done.
But just when I'm at the point where everyone's thinking "She'll never get better!"
They realize "Oh, she will...If we let her."

So, never underestimate me, never pull one over on me,
Because I could be your best friend, or your worst enemy.
All my life, I've been labeled as one thing or another thing.
But now I'm done with labels, and I'm on the upswing.

So just remember, I'm your best, or I'm your worst,
I'm either blessed, or completely cursed.
I'm fair, or completely unjust...
Either way, it's you that I won't trust.

    'I'm either a miracle, or doom, and you'll learn that fast./And I refuse to be labeled by my past.' Was one of my favourite bits, but tbh, I could 'label' the whole thing as genius (pun intended!!) A nice insight into the teenage mind and full of emotion. A brilliant read!!
