Paper Thin
I was paper thin.
If you wanted,
You could easily shut me up,
With a look,
I never stayed around,
Long enough,
To speak my mind.
I was paper thin.
You could wrinkle me,
Crush me,
Rip me,
Shred me,
And use me,
Just to throw me away.
I am not paper thin,
Anymore.
I stand my ground,
I don't back down,
I won't give up,
Because I'm just too proud.
I am as strong,
As a diamond,
And I won't,
Give in until,
Injustice is settled.
I was paper thin.
But,
I built myself up,
Into the diamond I am.
I was tired of being used,
Shredded,
Crushed,
Without a second thought.
I am a Diamond,
And I always stand up,
I never stand down.

I really hope you enjoyed reading this poem! The meaning is kinda obvious but, here it is anyway.
I used to be ashamed of myself and, I only had like three friends who I really knew and trusted. The rest were people who used me, and I never did anything about it because I thought it was normal. I thought that was what friends did. I didn't know any better. That's why I was so confused when my three good friends never did anything like that. They tried to help me get out of those toxic friendships but, to no avail. Only I could do it. I had to break out of my shell and, stand up for myself and, what I believed I deserve. I know I should have done it sooner but, at least I did it at all. I have my three very best friends to thank for that. So, here I am, writing a poem about breaking out of my shell.
I may have done it myself but, I was not alone in the battle. I think of it like this, I slain the dragons but, I had my three besties in the corner to fix my armor when I needed it. They cleaned my weapons too and gave me health. I want to thank them but, I'm not sure if they want their real names in my public diary so, I'm not going to disclose their names but, I will give you their alias' that I will use for my diary entries.
Jake, Nixy, and Mikki.
Jake is a straight guy. Nixy is a questioning girl and Mikki is a pan girl.
You know who you are.
Also, Mikki is like a mother figure to me.
Have a great day!
Kay bye.
