Long poems from a short girl

Look

Look at me happy as can be

Look again what do you see

My outgoing happy self isn't true

But if I acted differently you wouldn't know what to do

You see the cracks you see my flaws

But my feelings are complicated just like a jigsaw

I feel terrible and sad inside yet I always try to hide

And when I don't you set me aside

Look at me smart as can be

Look again what do you see

A girl that fights for her peers approval

Studies so that she faces no disapproval

Wakes up every day to the same routine

But she feels like doing nothing in between

Everyday is a war in my mind

Good thing for you I keep my thoughts confined

Look at this poem look closely

Look closer what do you see

A scared girl that doesn't want to face society

Faces each day despite her anxiety

Yes I am broken yes I am flawed

Yet if I act like it you call me a fraud
