But am I??

I am tired. 

I am sad.

I am grouchy.

The long night that had occurred, only just hours ago, has left me restless.

And I, am not one to be restless.

For, my mind is like molasses oozing out of a mason jar: 

Slow, and irritating.

And not only, that I am painfully aware of my unnecessary mood, but I am also aware that I have a whole life ahead of me.

So, I will not ruin and waste my day by being tired and unhappy. 

  I will NOT be tired. 

                   I will NOT be unhappy.

                              I will be ME.

  • Can't you see?

    The words.

    The comments.

    The stares...

    It all reminds me that no one cares. 

    Can't you see?

    I'm not okay.

    Because my thoughts remind me that I am not pleased with myself.

  • Why?

    Have you ever felt the weight of an unspoken word?

    Because I sure have.

    The word “Why” can mean a lot of things…

    But for me, it means Why do I feel this way?

  • Forgotten

    I am the forgotten dead.

    I have no friends and no roof over my head.

    I am the forgotten girl that you only hear about in stories and books.
