Skin and bones is all that remain,
yet you take everything and patronize;
treat me like I'm completely insane.
My confidence sinks and self-hate rise.
You treat me like a twisted freak
then continue to ask 'Is anything wrong with you?'
I know that that the answer you seek,
is the one that would be so far from true.
You count all the drops of my tears,
and then ask yourselves 'why?'
when the liters increase through the years;
'What could possibly make her cry?'
Ask me to fake a little smile.
Hopefully I leave the sadness behind.
Enjoy your blissful denial,
your mentality of out of sight & mind.
Keep all my 'grotesque' symptoms within;
tell me to put on the happy act to please.
Why do they make it out to be a sin?
I mean all I have is a mental disease.
Author notes
Just kinda venting at the teachers at the school because once they find out I have severe depression they either treat me like I'm stupid and crazy or like I'm incredibly fragile and I am about to throw myself off a building. It gets annoying!
The title is aimed at those people. People that treat anyone differently because of something as simple has having a mental illness clearly has something wrong with them.
What did you think?

I know just how you feel. So many people treat you like you're crazy when they figure out you're depressed. Like all my teachers know, and they are like.. ''How........are...........you.....?'' Like I can't understand english or something. It doesn't make sense to me.

Lol I know the feeling, or they treat you like you're about to burst out into tears and try to sugar coat everything.

I'll help you and tom, muderous rampages may be just what I need. Ashy your poem is so true and heart felt, yet so passionate and angry, it reminded me of school, and that makes me want to hurt someone. I feel like im constantly getting told to be happy but noone wants to take the time and listen to whats bothering me. They just assume im angry at everyone. Then mums making sure im eating properly cause im trying not too, im so fat =( i loved the title of the poem, it made me want to read it. Stand up and rage against the ones who disempower us. Fuck 'em all.

This is how I feel towards Artie. The fact they can parade around treating everyone like shit because they're life isn't tinged by the fact we are different. If you go ahead and massacre them all soon, fuck oath I'll help

I wasn't actually thinking of Artie at all here, you just did because you seem to hate him at the moment. Sam got it right, I was talking about staff at the school.
