A collection of passages (most are sad) that I've written late at night when my brain decides to go into crisis mode. Enjoy!

Poem: Do you know me?

I am a tragedy waiting to happen.

I am the calm before the storm.

I am the feeling of being torn apart.

I am barely holding myself together.

But I look happy.

So then,

I must be happy.

I am the chameleon.

I am whoever you need me to be.

I am the encouraging side character,

in someone else's story.

I am the carefully crafted champion.

But my victories are meaningless when

someone else's success shadows over mine.

I am the quiet girl.

The nice girl.

I am an angel.

At least I seem like one.

I say "good morning",

"How are you?",

and "I love your outfit!"

I am a predictable perfectionist.

I am a model student.

But I'm not happy.

I'll never be happy.

I'll never be good enough.

If you truly know me,

you'll realize that.
