Like a rollercoaster
I feel up then down
Round and round I go
Will I get off I still don’t know

Who wants to be me?
Is this all I’ll ever be?

Walking down the halls in a dark haze
Averting each and every person’s gaze

I want to be me
But what do the others see?

Putting up a facade while in public
Feeling down while in private

Shedding my tears often when I’m alone
Feeling upset as if I’m on my own

From smiling ear to ear
To crying from sadness and fear

Why do I do this?
Why can’t I feel bliss?

My mind turns negative
Distracting from the positive

Close my eyes and reflect
Life shouldn’t have this ruthless effect

Then I remember
It will always get better

We all may hurt
But we are not alone
There’s a whole world to turn to
Help others, and they’ll help you.
