Poems

It's A Secret

I know it's been a while

So I promise this'll be good

The one thing I have shared the least

It is my childhood

I don't really like to talk about it

It isn't all that happy

But I guess that makes a good poem right

Much better than being sappy

Growing up there was one thing that I always had

I don't have it anymore

That feeling of safety

It ran, screaming, out my door

I guess it left around the time

I first had to deal with pain

That is why it is so hard

For me to try and explain

Because you see I have a lot

Of bullying in my past

But the worst of all, the worst to come

The time that happened last

Sure it had been bad before

I still have some scars

I never show my shoulders for a reason

But no one even cares

I hate that I have been through so much

I hate all that's been done

I wish I could become someone else

Just change my year by one

Because being young could be bad these days

And I have always been the youngest one

I have always been considered weak

And also considered dumb

These things in my head

I can't get them out

The pain that makes me scream at night

Even though I'm not supposed to shout

I used to be a lot more fun

Smiling all the time

But if I were still that girl

You couldn't read my rhymes

I am sorry I do not tell you it all

I'm sorry I hide my past

Maybe if I weren't so afraid

I would be more of a blast

So that is why you can see pictures

Of my with a smile on my face

But what no one knows is things have changed

That smiles been replaced
