if i could speak
October 28, 2016
Will I ever wake up happy?
Will I ever wake up scared?
I am far too damaged for repair
To show myself would be to die
This is just how life is going to be
One day, I think to myself
I’ll learn to accept that I
May spend my life trapped
Inside of her to please people
Who don’t really care
And maybe I’ll get so used to being her
I’ll forget about me
And maybe that’s okay
And maybe that’s what I need.

I struggle every day with trying to just be myself without regretting it. I wrote this because I think many girls these days struggle with that and maybe that can relate.
