Me

A happy smile

A happy mind

Nothing is wrong

The world is fine

My heart is perfect

There are no cracks in sight

Just a gleaming and shining grin

Who can imagine what's in my mind

A small laugh escapes my lips 

Which were trembling with tears moments ago

My eyes seem fine

After washing my puffy face at least 5 times

No one can possibly think 

Im anything but okay


I sob to myself at night

I sob to myself in the bathroom

How can i explain

If someone finds me in that state

Its too hard to believe

That there might be a happy day

When the lights will be bright

No tears to be shed

Just laughter and smiles

No thunder or storm


Still i fight

Because i am a warrior

And a warrior fights on

Its ok with all the tears and cries

Its ok if i talk to myself all night

I will get through just alright

No matter what anyone says

Im perfect just this way

This is me

So hear me roar


So if you have a problem

Come and fight me

I might break down

I might cry out

But do you care

Do you want to help me

Im sorry for everything

Im sorry for hurting you

Just dont be mean

How much more

I cant take it any longer


You call me weak

But thats not me

Im a warrior

I fight back

Until its too late

My mind is gone

You broke something in me

My heart

My mind

My soul

Me

I am a 13-year old girl and I wrote this poem when I was going through some dark times...I really hope this shows others out there that you aren't alone.
