The GIRL AND THE AUDIENCE
Written and Submitted by Ghinwa Fayyad

Everyone one makes me seem crazy

You look at me weirdly


I try to change my thoughts

But nothing comes across


I try to help, but end up blaming me

You make me become shady


I try to make you realize

But that image of me is stuck in your eyes


Stop romanticizing my mental illness

Just to fulfill your loneliness


Why do you portray me this way?

Make me sound so cliché


I will not accept this fate

Already have so much on my plate


You are not my savior

Not now nor later


Why do you even act like this?

Giving us looks we can’t miss


We try to be nice to you

And act as if we have no clue


You make us want to try

But we always feel the need to lie


We want to make you understand

But nothing goes as planned


You’re so mysterious

Yet so serious


We look at you differently

You act weirdly constantly


We try to make sense

But there is always so much suspense


We want to save you

But it’s nothing new
