I Am Told


I am told
what im suppost to be.
what I should wear.
The things I need to work on to 'look better.'
how I am imperfect
and
everything I do is wrong.
no one will like me.

how about you tell me something
I don't know?
how I already think these thoughts
people should lift you up
not throw you on the ground
how the mirror shows the worst parts
my circles under my eyes
messy hair

smile that is paint that has chipped away
clothes that just don't fit right on my body
A voice that either is to soft or to loud
can't find the right way to say
help
how the words just sit in my throught
making it hard to breath
making the single tear roll down
when your friends pretend your 
someone else

So please tell me 
how Im not good enough cause 
I have heard it all
and your just someone 
who won't let me say
"help"

  • The Three Words


    So hard to breath
    when they just won’t come out.
    But the more it hurts
    the more it needs to be said
    The words that nobody wants to hear
    But at the same time, dying for them to come out.
    They mean so so much
