I walk around with a face with no expression/ Inside, I literally feel nothing. I am emotionally dead/ I am sick and tired of being deceived, demonized, and discouraged/ Every night I stay up until 2:00 A.M wondering why do I have to endure so much pain/ I was always told that God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers, but I can only remain strong for so long/ On the outside I fake a bright smile and a lovable personality. I may seem like a happy, crazy, goofy person but deep down inside I have been feeling so low that I have a strong doubt I’ll ever be up again/ I am so messed up mentally that all I ever do is reminisce on the times I was an innocent child because life was so much more enjoyable then/ I have built a wall that will block out any emotion to keep me from feeling weak ever again/ On the outside I put on a “tough guy” act so that my “wall” on the inside will remain strong/ No one knows how I really feel because I hate to talk about my feelings/ So many people have used what I have opened up to them about, against me/ I have absolutely no trust in anybody because the people I have trusted in my past showed me exactly why I shouldn't trust a single soul/ This is why I walk around with a face with no expression.

I've been going through a lot these past two years and my english teacher gave us the opportunity to write a poem. I decided to make it deep so my peers will have a deeper understanding of who I really am and why I am the way I am.
