Poems

Tired

I just got home from school.
Right now, I'm inside the bathroom, crying like a fool.
It's already 5:20,
And I feel so lonely.

My father is angry,
My grandmother scolded me,
My mother? I don't know where she is.
My life, My self, is a mess.

In school, I'm that girl that looks so happy,
But the truth is I'm hurt and tired.
I'm tired pretending that everything's alright.
I'm tired acting that I'm not crying at night.

I've been battling with depression,
Anxious thoughts and longings of satisfaction.
Convincing myself that I can survive this day,
Because God is with me along the way.
