A new poem of mine on "thoughts of an adolescent" that I hope u might find relatable :) : 
          
          "alone"
          Surrounded by people, 
          Yet always alone
          The girl people saw
          The one they called, 
          “Sweet and cheerful”
          Yet had a heart soaked with darkness
          Filled to the brim with sadness
          With death
          With the stench of depression…
          
          Yet each morning, 
          She woke
          She woke and cleaned herself
          So that no one would see 
          the ink stains melting through her shirt
          Nor smell the acidity
          Of a certain shadow
          Called “Self-hatred”
          
          And she smiled
          And she wondered what was wrong
          What was wrong with her
          To have thoughts not reserved for children
          Happy, privileged children like her
          Children that lived in nice neighborhoods
          With nice parents
          With nice friends
          So, I guess, she was the problem all along
          
          Yet that nice neighborhood was a competitive one
          Where grades were more important than lives
          And everyone’s parents were strict
          And selfish, and didn’t care for feelings
          And her friends were just like her
          Yet sometimes so ignorant of her heart, and selfish, too
          
          But she couldn’t blame them,
          For she knew that she was the only one that could see
          What everyone’s heart looked like
          And the standards she held herself to
          Couldn’t measure the shortness of others
          
          And so she felt like a drop of seawater
          In a world of dry sandy desert
          Lonely, evaporating
          And salty with tears
