invisible.

I wanted to say so much more.
I wanted to spill the whole truth.
Everything I've been hiding inside
Every bit I've been keeping from you.
The cuts, the depression, the starving.
Everything paining me so.
But the way that you stared
Hung pressure into the room
And all I could do was cry.
You've never noticed the scars on my arms
Or the dark purple stains on my face.
It's never come across
That low grades are not from lazyness.
But standing in front of your critical figure,
I choke on my speech long prepared.
And I hope
One day
You will notice.
