Every day
I go to a place I hate
I see people that wouldn't care if I breathed or not
I get tormented inside by my thoughts
& no one shows any consideration
For the fact that I'm trying
As hard as I can
To make it through.
Somehow
I manage a smile
I fight through each day
Because I realized awhile ago
That maybe this is worth it
Maybe this journey of hell and more
Is worth the reward in the end.
Maybe every time I lie awake at night
Wondering, "Why"
There's an answer to my endless question.
Every day
I go to school
& pretend I'm ordinary
As if I have nothing wrong
Nothing for people to show concern about.
I changed that though
I don't hide anymore
The scars on my skin are visible
Because I'm not ashamed of my past
It makes me who I am now
& helped me break my chains
Shake off my demons
& figure out how to cope correctly.
So each day
I feel worthless
& nothing more than a body
With blood running through my veins
The truth of the matter is
I have more worth
Than I'll ever imagine I do
It shows around me
In the faces of those
Who don't hide either.
