What do I do?

August Forster

written:8/18/16

What do I do?

People tell me to keep my head up.

I try so hard,

I don’t think they see

How much I am hurting inside.

I cut from what people do to me.

It is so sad that I can’t be happy.

I smile just to hide my pain.

I try so hard,

But it isn’t easy to stay alive,

And live like this.

You don't get it,

You don’t want to kill yourself,

As of I.

You know how to have fun,

And all I know is how to cry.

Do you know how many times,

I have begged to change?

But noooo…..

You keep on playing the same old game,

And tear me down.

Now how do you feel?

Do you feel my pain?

Cause you should try to be in my shoes,

I bet you won’t last a day.
