Lies

They say I've grown up,

And so your problems will be solved,

Give it some time and you'll figure something out,

But I just can't take it anymore,

So many people are shouting,

I feel like I'm carrying their weight,

I keep listening to them,

All their problems,

Problems bigger than what they are,

So extraordinary,

My problems feel so small,

I don't feel like speaking,

Will I go through these problems?

Who will listen to me,

Who will carry me like I carried others,

I'm being given so many proverbs and stories eons old,

They don't make sense anymore,

Nothing makes sense,

Everything feels like a lie,

A poisonous hook pulling me back and slowly killing me,

It feels these stories have snatched my happiness,

I don't care if the turtle outsmarted the rabbit,

I don't care if someone's anger leads to their doom,

For god's sake let me feel what I'm going through.

Let me be angry for what has happened,

Let me run away from things that I can't handle,

Why is this world telling me what to do,

My poems fall short of words,

My anger burns and it'll be fiery enough to burn the world with it,

And then I'll stand there,

Shouting my problems and venting all my feelings,

But then too,

These selfish creatures will not care,

They'll attack me,

They'll teach me logic,

But please,

Don't solve my problems,

Just listen to them,

Just let them soak,

Let me know I'm not the only person with this problem,

I don't want your fake sympathy,

I just want someone to care for me,

To have my back, 

To agree with what I say,

But nobody as such exists,

It's all a lie.
