This poem is a little different
Imperfection has no limit
You criticize me
Without knowing me
Nothing you say can hurt me
Nothing you say can break me
Let me tell you the truth
Let me clarify the air
Yes I've been alone
I was abandoned by my mom at 2 years old
Yes I'm ugly
I've been told so many times
I live in a one bedroom house
With four people
My sister has embarrassed me
Told me I was ugly
My dad used to beat me
Most of the time I would bleed
I distance myself from the world
I play, grow and learn on my own
I've tried every suicide attempt known
I keep to myself
But people still spread rumors
I smile because I'm tired of my tears
I was the girl who starved herself
Now I go weeks without eating
Because to my body this is a habit
I'm not good with words
Unless its pen to paper
I've broken a million mirrors
I started a job at 11 years old
So my family could eat
I give up my dreams
So others can have a shot
At their dream life
I cry every morning and night
Everybody plays with my feelings and leave
So don't hold it against me
If I don't trust you
I'm just another girl with a normal life
I uses to starve so my mom could eat
Then you come and judge me
Say I don't know nothing about suffering
There were times if night where I have to go outside
Just to use the toilet
Yes you've been through more than me
While you're asleep I'm awake
While you're smiling I'm crying
While you judge I'll smile
Because you're just another hypocrite
This is just .5% of my story and I'm 16
