Untitled Poem

Keep yourself okay, they say

Keep your grades up, they say

You can do it all on your own, try harder.

Try Harder.

I try my hardest every day

sanity is leaving her

I can’t keep up.

I failed.

I cry.

I cut.

I wanted to die.

But I fought

It was hard

I fell a lot

...back onboard

And I kept going

Now I’m here

Back in school...

Better place

Better people

Better teachers

Better life

I’m not scared anymore

I know I can do this

I have support now..

..I always have.

I am cared for

I am loved

I know there will be bad times

I know I will struggle

But that’s okay

Because I’ve been through worse

And I can handle this now

I can handle anything now

I am okay

I am free.
