I've always had only myself.
Cause I'd waited for so long,
But no one came.
So I stood tall,
Built my walls strong.
And I held everything together
The best I could
Despite what they said.
But they knew.
They knew I wasn't strong enough.
They knew I wouldn't be able to handle it.
But they didn't think twice
And they didn't help.
Instead they watched
As my life basically ended.
So I built myself back up.
Just like I taught myself to.
I built myself stronger.
I urge myself to think harder.
And I bring myself to smile.
Just so that
They wouldn't have to worry about me.
Even though I already knew
That they never really did
And they never saw
Who she was underneath those layers again.
They never saw
What she would have given them
Because they were society's children.

The last three lines were written by someone else. I don't think he's on here, so I can't tag him. But, check out justaburnedoutskank on Tumblr. He's a great writer, and you won't regret it.
