My Life
It all happened six years ago
Do I want to remember them? No
The same re occurring night mare
Just hits me right there
The pain I felt
All the crap I've dealt
Words that stab you right in the heart
As short and sharp as a dart
Leaving behind scars
I may of lost hair
Worn a wig
But I don't care
I am beautiful in every way
I say this to my self-everyday
When people tell me I'm useless
Weird or ugly
And make me feel worthless smugly
So what if every time I wear shorts or a tank top
You can see my past engraved in my skin
Is it some sort of sin?
You can stare
You can glare
But I know I am just like you
Inside me somewhere
People's words aren't worth crying over
Wishing for things to change hoping for a four leaf clover
I can't change who I am
I will be this way forever
My true friends will help me get through this
We will stick together
Little words bring back the memories
I turn sad, feel neglected
But all I need Is a hug
And someone to say
You are perfect in every single way.
