a month until you're 18 you put yourself first sit waiting until a day you're cursed for being so selfish for a while you felt helpless with no one to help at all you're in a room and you feel like the walls are crushing you so you assume you're dead inside and you allow yourself to cry cause you're selfish and that's all you're ever gonna be and you're only selfless and fine when you're not even happy what is happening inside your head? you don't share it out to most you don't think what you post you're never what you're supposed to be you don't speak the same lingo and everyone knows it and they expose you to the world and say you're a ***** you're a horrendous scumbag who's full of ******* and you no longer are seen as someone in the magazines you're painted a new light and your colors aren't the same colors used to be so bright now they're just a washed out gray so nothing can be said to fix how you feel it all feels surreal how some people can be so evil and distasteful to your image and you scrimmage pieces together try to connect the dots of where everything started and how everything went so wrong you stare in the mirror and even your own reflection hates you now and all your friends who were once your friends wished you were dead buried underground you feel so ****** now
I wrote this poem because I went through a time where everyone would take advantage of my kindness and treat me poorly. I finally started to put myself first, but it only made people turn away from me and hate me even more and I started to not like myself as well.
