Me!

Depression, sadness, and suicide
Were the expression that played on my life
I never thought luck was on my side
Situations easily through my body on an emotional ride
I was so quick to cry in defeat
And did not’t think twice of where my pen and paper could reach
I’ve cried heartache for too long
Use to sit back and cry to that one sad song
All because I thought I wasn't good enough
Thought I was unable to live up to the standards that I knew were tough
I would try and think about what my grandmother told me
She told me to keep my emotions where no one could see
So I tried to keep up my guards
And watch from a far
Yet no matter how had I tried
I still went home to my sorry cries
I thought of myself as weak and fragile
But no one knew that because I always flashed a smile
I walked around with the look of happiness
Then when I got home, only the lord knows where the happiness went
It was hard for me to except the fact that I am who I am
And that I choose where my status stands
Even today I have my issues
But we all do
Yet no longer will I walk in the shadows of anyone
Because I know that I AM SOMEONE!
