 This is me

Being Me


All I want
Is for someone to say
"I'm proud of you",
"I know what you go through",
"Are you feeling ok?"

I don't want to feel worthless,
Or cry all night,
I'm sick of feeling
That it's never right.

I know I can be selfish,
And useless,
No one wants me around,
Whatever I do,
I don't hear a sound.

I know I'm not good enough,
You make that quite clear,
I close the door to my room
And burst into tears.

"You could've done this",
"You should've done that",
Once again I'm alone,
Just me and the cat.

I try so hard
But it's never enough,
I know I'm difficult
When I'm feeling rough.

The truth,
It's frustrating,
I throw things at the wall,
Could you be there to catch me
When I start to fall?

I know I'm not perfect,
That I can see,
But it's hard enough already
Just being me.

I know that I'm stubborn,
I know I can shout,
But why can't you see
What it's really about?
There are days
When I'm in pain,
Consumed with fear,
Days when I want
To disappear.

I know I'm awkward,
But please
Try and see,
Inside there's a little girl
Who wants to be free…
