HAVE YOU EVER
laid on your bed at night and just cried? 
Cried because you are ugly. Because you are not good enough. 
you counted all your flaws from head to toe to punish and feel worse about yourself. cried because the comments people blurt out, actually hurt your feelings. 
around people, you are the happiest ray of sunshine. 
but nobody knows, that at night when you are alone, you break down and just cry. 



when you were little 
if you fell 
they would ask you where it hurt 
you would point to 
your knees, your arm or an elbow 
and they would make it better 

but you noticed 
as you get older 
if you fall 
they don't ask you where it hurts 

you sit silently in your room 
waiting for someone to ask you 
where it hurts 
pointing to your heart and your head 

because that is where the pain 
hurts the most 
but nobody makes it better.
