My Confession

Not everyone knows

The truth about my depression

So that is why I'm writing this

This poem is my confession

A confession about all the heartache I've felt

Something that I've kept locked away

The thing I've wanted to reveal before

But the truth will be revealed today

My confession is about a boy I knew

We went out for almost a year

I thought I was completely in love

Until it was his love that I began to fear

He called me everyday and every night

He never left me alone

He was painfully controlling

He thought I was his to own

He made me do things to him

That no girl should be made to do

If I said I wouldn't do it

He wouldn't be happy, and believe me I knew

No one could ever see the marks he left

He was too smart to hit where people could see

After I would say that I made him do it

And that he would always love me

I never deserved to be treated

In the way that I used to be

But I believe that it has made me stronger

Now I am able to be free
