On the background

by Emma from the Netherlands   May 29, 2012


You know, I've always been the quiet and shy person, like a wallflower
I wanted to show who I am, but did not have the power...
It just didn't come out
All these doubts and I never gave a shout
I taught myself being invisible...
I felt so lonely and miserable
I always made myself so small
And hit a lot of walls

I was aware of it but still could not change it...
It's so frustrating...
All these people who walked all over me
I never stood up for myself, it wasn't easy...
I had to drag myself to school every day
The end seemed so far away...
But eventually I got there
My happiness was everywhere

I know what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger
But still it left a scar
It damaged me and now my confidence is so far..
Far away from where it should be
The invisible background girl should no longer be me
I don't want to be like that anymore
I want to open the door
Make a change
To a new version of me
I am ready
And I want you people to see
That writing is my destiny

    I always find it nice when someone can relate to my poem and recognize things in it. It's good that you're a happier person now:) I'm trying that too, but I'm not there yet.

    I can really relate to this poem, I've been like that before and I also have been trying to change that side of me.
    Now I can say that I'm a happier person (:
    I hope you also pass through all that..
    Nice piece :)
