The Real Reality

I am...
The girl who says she’s fine but wonders the reason to keep living,
The girl who has a brother but wishes she didn’t so she could say goodbye,
The girl who looks put together but inside is falling apart,
The girl who people never see cry but cries herself to sleep each night,
The girl who tries so hard to be there for people yet has no one to be there for her,
The girl who has friends but longs for something more,
The girl who likes the guy but knows he will never like her in return,
The girl who hopes she’ll change the world but knows she’ll never amount to anything,
The girl who tries to be okay but feels like she’s slowly dying,
The girl who always has the answers but doesn’t know what to do.

I wrote this poem about a hard time in my life and how I felt when I wasn't sure what to do.
