Fragile

My Skin Weak to the touch

I feel like I can't eat anything for lunch

People say just eat and be free

But they don't know me 

someone who has been thrown around and kicked

But I just try to become a friend

Because that is what I want in life,

But am I just playing pretend

people say Just Be Happy,

It is a choice

But they know what my face shows,

a happy face

A scared person behind a mask

I wonder how long I will last.

I will not be beat

even though the dark rain cloud of Depression is over me

I will break free of these chains 

And Become Happy one Day
