Literature Text

they called me little iron-heart,
because i "only cared about myself."

if only they knew the memories,
that were rusting away on my shelves.

the feelings came along with the pain,
and back to the memories to start.

everything in my life led up,
to my gray, little, locked up broken-heart.

i didn't care about anyone,
because i was unable to care anymore.

i thought i wore my heart on my sleeve,
i thought my sadness was apparent, for sure.

but maybe they just couldn't see past me,
and see that my heart was a little dusty.

so that's me, "iron-heart", the big fat jerk.
well i'm sorry if my social skills are rusty.
I DID TERRIBLE WITH THIS PROMPT. ;n;
but, still, i hope i was somewhat able to get the major point across. sometimes, experiencing small, bad things multiple times, can have a huge negative impact on us. i know people say that "break-ups/lost friendships/family problems aren't reasons to be depressed"...

but what about several break-ups? or what if every friend made is eventually lost? what if the family problems have been going on for years?
smaller things can lead up to more serious problems, and for me, it's easiest to try and shut them out...which really just keeps the locked up feelings inside. the effect of this is that one day i'll have a massive amount of built up emotions and feelings that i have to deal with...and that can be hard on a person.
it can greatly impact their life, the way they present themselves, the way they interact with others, etc..
and people often jump to conclusions, as shown in this poem.
