smiles are dark too

Most times,
i wish it was a game i played,
not the reality at all,
that it was what i could really turn off
and not just have to pretend not to feel at all.
It would have been great if
this was a tale of all the
warm, light, and fuzzy feelings
that were bugging a teenage girl
but not at all, quite the opposite, in fact.
My own thoughts have left me holding a microscope often,
studying and trying to understand
how such strong emotions are held in this weak mind of mine,

It's heard across the room

the rubbish bin is overflowing
just like my mind does with these thoughts.
