The Hidden "Me"

by Amanda   Dec 15, 2004


On my way to school
and my depression begins to side
I become a completely different person, and the real me, I must hide.

I make my way toward
a new exposition
knowing that friendship
was, my absolute mission.

Making my way to hopeless souls
feeling as if I'm trying to dig through a hole.

I reach my destination
and my tears begin to dwell
when many familiar faces
put me through such hell.

One by one, they all begin to fall
staining my face
with a silent crawl

So many tears, soon form a mask
not transparent, but an undiscovered task.

Why I'm crying, know one knows
staring at my face
while the tears just flow.

No one talks, no one moves
while mine eyes so teary
seeing visions of two.

My tears are like my way of communication
because I don't talk
I look to see no sign of sympathy
and there I walk.

I run to the bathroom
and I'm by the sink
I hurt so bad, I just can't think.

I look up and see a stranger
as I punch the mirror
knowing I am in danger

Soon it is time to go about my day
people happy, in their own special way.

The final bell rings
and I'm struggling inside
I wish for a day
in my self I could confide

Blood stained eyes
glaring me down
turning that "smile" into a frown

I treat ME horribly
leading me to believe
that my so called "looks"
are the only deceived

I "freshen" up
in the bathroom once more
feelings of eeriness
and suicide galore

I come face to face with that stranger alas
I never knew hate carried so much mass.

I see my reflection
I see a girl trying to break free.
Stumbling upon the fact
that the girl was me.

I see that girl, who would always hide
the girl one night who committed suicide.

    dang!!! girl, this poem is very
    good. i can tell you when i was
    in high school it was just like
    what you wrote. your always
    trying to fit in, even when you do.
    your so young you just started.
    the end is scary, it's not the way out
    life is what it's all about. ( :
    when you pour your heart out like this
    in my eyes it's a 5 all the way

    Whoever gave me a one is mean, I worked hard on this poem! This is the only poem out of the 41 that I wrote, that actually describes me! And it hurts to know that when I am sharing myself and my feelings with people that I don't even know, that people can be so harsh. This is truly how I feel, and this is dedicated to how people act towards me, leading me to believe that I do not fit in, or I am not beautiful enough. Even though many may call me beautiful I still feel this way, because the ones who are mean to me and hurt me, over rule to a greater extent than those who treat me kindly. And for you to give me the worse grade you could grade a poem, is horrible. You should feel ashamed.
