There’s something behind my eyes
Something you can’t see
Something no one understands

I’m not picture perfect
I’m not a sweet little innocent girl
I’m not as naïve as you seem to think I am

I’ve seen death
I’ve seen destruction
I’ve seen pain

Sometimes I dream about the end
About not having to live with this past
Not having to live alone in these feelings

But then I realize how different things are now
How much I’ve changed
How hard I’ve worked to escape all that

But no one realizes it
No one knows what I’ve been through
They think I’m average

I’m not average
Far from it
I overcame great obstacles

I am stronger than them
But I am weak to them
I want to be them

I want my smile to be real
I want my innocence to be intact
I want to have hope for the world

It’s too late for me though
I’ve seen too much
There’s no going back

The world is an ugly place
Pain and suffering are rampant
And no one tries to fix it

People complain about the world
When they’ve never seen it
But that’s all they do, complain

I’m tired of watching people sit around
Fight for what you believe in
Stand up for your fellow humans

I’m a hurt lost little girl
Why did no one save me?
How did I slip through the cracks?

I had to save myself
I had to deal with knowing the world is a terrible place
No one stood up for me

I am strong
I changed, I saved myself
I may be young, but I’m certainly not naïve

Great declaration. Like the attitude. There is this same moment in every "thinking" person's life.

Hands down to you sis, I'm with you all the way. Those of us who are tired of averting our eyes need to pick the rest of the world up and stick their noses in the pain, just as we would to a dog that has pooped on the rug. I can feel your want to go back, want for ignorance, but on the large scale, ignorance only makes this world's malice increase, until it's bursting at the seams as it is now.

Great poem!

and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...
