I felt inspired today to try and write a poem. I decided to write about my school days and the struggles they entailed, the complex traumas I suffered at this time.and still went to school every day. So hear it is, I've never wrote a poem before and it's very personal so please be kind!
I'm the girl who was so shy and never spoke at school
I'm the girl who was picked on for being freak
I'm the girl who's mum died when she was just finding her feet
I'm the girl who hid in toilets to avoid joining in
I'm the girl you heard crying and just laughed at again
I'm the girl who's dad chose a new partner over her
I'm the girl who was shouted at night after night
I'm the girl who stole food from her kitchen to survive
I'm the girl who was called fat, ugly, crazy, all this was right
I'm the girl you heard crying and just laughed at again
I'm the girl who got perfect grades and so was obviously fine
I'm the girl who feared going home every single time
I'm the girl who was to blame for every little thing
I'm the girl who hurt herself to release some of the pain
And still, I'm the girl you heard crying and just laughed at again.
