Angry

Poem by a youngster

Anger, pain

It's getting harder to hide,
All the feelings I built up inside.

It's hard to explain
Without being considered insane
So I've kept it to myself.
Until I realized I need help.
Even the weekends seem to be a chore
Putting a smile on my face as I walk out the door
Wanting to run away
But where can I go
Around people or not, I still feel alone.
I cry all the time now
I used to think I was strong
Now it's a struggle just to hold on.
To make it through the day
Without an odd look my way
Or someone asking me if I'm ok
But maybe it will do me good
To let someone help if they could.
Just one hug is all I need.
Just one person that cares is all I plead.
And then I might get
Through another day
Of waiting for my anger and
Pain to fade away.
