Healing and Hardships 15-28
Can't you see
It's her not me
I’m being framed
That girl was my friend
But now she’s HER friend
And I can't talk to them?
What the hell
Where is SHE getting these games?
Why am I the only one being told off
When she clearly is doing shady business
I got a 9/10 on my maths
I showed mom
SHE said that SHE got a 10/10 last year
I CAN EAT
Everything
ANYTHING
Mayo on a spoon?
I’m in 6th grade, and 65 lbs
Isn't that funny
They say I should eat
Therapy and drugs
Angry outburst
IT'S NOT MY FAULT
But I need to pretend I agree
I'm thinking that ADHD isn't all that is wrong
I can't put my finger on it
But explosive anger is unusual at my age
Clumpy hair
Tendrils of oil
We need to learn proper hygiene
Gym class
I am weaker than my peers
But I still try my best
I am always picked last
How come the deaf girl suddenly gets treated special
I have problems too
But nobody pretends to like me
Anti Bullying is just for show
I've never seen the girls act differently
Toward my hidden disability
Could it be my fault
People can't come near
When all I do is shout
And talk off their ear
I've decided. Age 13. Grade 8.
Next year will be different
I need to let go
I'll keep all my stories
But no more anger
No more pain
No more what if’s
