Express Myself- a collection of short poems

Closed down

The doors are shut and I cry against the wall

I feel so stupid, I feel so alone

Who can I trust who can I call my own

My back hurts from standing too tall

My lips hurt from smiling too long

I say it's okay while my mind is cracking 

I say it's fine when it's maddening

My hands in my hair

while my tears rain out

I don't have an umbrella

It's hard to be  the rock 

which can take all the taunts

the truth is I'm not that strong

My heart seems to cry out every day

To call for the impossible

for me to be fixed

I'm a broken girl

who knows not how to act

who knows not how to speak

just that she knows that she's a freak
