Reality wakeup call

by Kristina Eby   Mar 31, 2005


Today reality smacked me in the face
i read something so sad so depressing
it made me feel like i was a disgrace

i cry about things that aren't to bad
i cut for relief thinking its what i need
but really my life isn't even sad

my worst problem is doing something wrong
and making my mom or dad mad
or feeling like no one likes me and i just don't belong

when my dad gets drunk he will beat me
he yells at me without a reason
i feel depression not attention truly.

but if i wanted to i could get away from this
go get help or be with my mom
all of this i wouldn't miss

i love my life and what i got
what i didn't realize is
i have more than most people this was something i was never taught

i don't have a true and trustworthy friend
to play and laugh with
but cutting my wrist is something ill suspend

there are kids who taunt and tease me
i hear everything they say
but ill ignore it and not let it make me angry

Because they are the ones who are truly sad inside
what they say about me is just a Meir imagine of them
and for now on ill walk down the hallway with complete pride
