Sad Girl

“Hey you're beautiful and your pretty,
Yet why are you so distressed lately?

I thought your friends loved you,
I thought the whole world did.

You were supposed to be the epitome of perfection
Everybody dreamed to be.

Little did they know your suffering.
Underneath your skin that's glittering.

Why force a smile when you want to cry?
Why be polite if you want to die?

Is that what they teach you?
Conceal your unavoidable issue?

How about your self-esteem?
And all of your hopes and dreams?
If you're just thinking about eternally sleeping?

Do you remember the last time you were happy?
A life time ago when you didn't deal with misery.

Although who am I to question?
We're the same person,
stabbing our own reflection.”

(p.s: this is one of the poems that I wrote in seventh grade.)
