do you know how many people are desperate
desperate to look young
to feel young

so don't just exist through your early years
you'll never make memories
you'll miss all the fun

You're here on my porch
begging to let you in
trying to apologize
but darling, it's a little too late for that

You say that you want me back
but i'm already gone
fooled me once, shame on you
fool me twice, shame on me

Oh life
what have you got for me this time
i've been through highs and lows
but i haven't got much strength left

Oh life
what have you got for me this time
my bones are aching
and my heart keeps breaking

Oh life
what have you got for me
i'm in a hospital
and i'm running out of breath
(i'm running out of time)

You think my scars are to get attention
I think my scars are there to remind me not to go there
they remind me of what I’ve been through and that I’ve survived

You think my outer appearance defines me
I think my outer appearance is nothing compared to what’s inside
my personality and knowledge is what I think matters more

You think my past is something that’s to be made fun of
I think my past has made me become myself
i’ve found the true meaning of a warrior but you’ll never care

When you're all alone
and you feel you've lost your way
just know that I'm here
and I'll always stay

Even in tough times
we'll make it through
don't listen to what they say
it's not true

I know it's hard
to stay alive and put up a good fight
although deep in your heart
you know nothing's right

but keep going strong
it's gonna pay off someday
and thank all your haters
then keep going your way
This is what a best friend is for. They help you get through tough times and I love all my friends.

Tugging on my skin
leaving permanent scars
blood sheds out
but i let it dry up

busy chugging pills
trying to look skinny
even throw up a little
so i can like me

going through magazines
and wondering about
how they're so beautiful
and i'm not

i think god hates me
because my life is a mess
leaving food behind
for my beach body
By the way, this poem is not about anyone I know. It's for people who want to change how they look and are going through depression. I just wanted to leave a note that everyone is perfect in their own way. I bet that at least one person likes all those little things that make you who you are. Don't self harm and don't hate your body or treat it badly. If you don't like yourself or how you look in the mirror, well then all I can say is a mirror is a piece of glass and you are much more than that. People tend to hide their feelings with fake smiles and forced laughs. You'll find someone that will make your days brighter and that's something to look up to. Remember that "suicide doesn't end the chances of life getting worse, suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better". Hope you have or had a great day and don't give up.

Looking at my reflection
through the blurry tears
seeing not what’s inside
but instead what’s outside of me
at times like this
I need to realize
that life isn’t about appearance
it’s about happiness and love
whether it’s loving others or yourself
But still I seem to forget
enough to know everything’s wrong
from my face to hair
from my head to feet
Insecure about how I look
if people will like me or not
everything is jumbled up
and i don’t know how to fix it
i wish i could look in a mirror
and feel nice about myself
just for once
too much pain and too much hate
directed towards me from me
i want to be young
and be carefree
i want to go back in time
and be my old self again
