Sanity

I wrote this... I think in my sophomore year of highschool. Which would make it five or six years old. I can't be sure but I think it's partially about my history teacher lol.

To be pitied you
sing of promiscuity and reak
of lonely thoughts
a vacancy in your head
a zombied attempt that's dead
tell us what you're after
my head, my bed, my sanity
find me where you
look to me and see that
I am an undesired interloper
following your humorless eyes as they
drift over me, I
lose my sanity
fighting this prejudice of circumstance
never looking for the second glance
but ever moving towards the burning entrance
maybe this life wasn't meant to be
maybe this lie was death for me
you build a wall in your stubborness
ripping me to pieces just to keep me
from the threshold
feeling the scrutiny too hot to bear
you turn from me, knowing you're wrong
but screaming victory,
screaming boastfully, 
            screaming desperately,
            screaming insanity.
