Anthology of Me and other various poems

Difficulties

That hardest struggle in the morning

Is getting out of bed

Turning over the covers

Run a hand atop my head

The next step is to shower

Get ready for my day

Eat some food, pack up my things

Be headed on my way

After I arrive at school

And talk with my good friends

I head to classes, 7 hours later,

I'm leaving feeling dread

While I'm at school and in my classes

I often feel content

I feel at home, comfortable

But now it's all to end

Heading 'home' makes my head hurt

As I often feel alone

I lay downstairs on my bed

Fall asleep all on my own

The hardest struggle is looking in the mirror

And seeing someone who's not me

I've cut my hair, I've changed my clothes

There's no one else to be

I'm trying hard to accept myself

For who I really am

Sometimes it's quite difficult

But I'm doing what I can

I've tried my best to act for me

Instead of someone else

And when I'm called the proper name

I feel like my heart melts

I just guess that I'm excited

To be where I now am

With all the friends I have

And in my mind a plan

I'm happy where I'm going

And glad I'm done with my past

At least I know that I can rest

Peacefully, at last
