I wish they could see
How hard I tried to be
I don't expect
Anyone to understand
Beneath my mask
The facade of happiness
Lies a crumbling girl
Crying out in agony
It's a constant fight
My daily battle
To defeat my inner demons
Those voices always speaking
The ones reminding me I'll never be good enough
Maybe they're right
I'm the screw up
I have words in my mind
The vanish before I can speak
Peace is only momentary
It never lasts
I wish it would stop
Make it all stop for a moment
Including the endless agony

AcakThis is my shitty poetry book to help sort through the thoughts and feelings coursing through me. Some of it probably isn't real poetry but just words. NOTE: There will not be regular updates.
