The Truth About Me

Week after week,

You still won't speak.

You won't even laugh or cry,

As you walk on by.

You lock in your emotions,

You fake perfection.

You won't let anyone in,

How can you expect to win?

These are the words I say,

Right before the next day.

These words I speak, 

I speak when I look into the mirror.

I see the monster,

I see the freak.

What do you see in me?

This is a nice flowing piece of work. You cant be a monster, but you
can be a freak...................... a Jesus freak!! Great work, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

I used to be the BIGGEST Jesus Freak out there. I'm guessing the teen years made it super hard.

Beautiful work dan I see a boy that is striven to survive and I completely relate I say many of those things but I always ignore my own advice don't ignore your self like I did

[Daniel Whitaker]

Thank you, I don't know what else to look for

[child of God]

Well don't hold it all in like I did it doesn't help any it just makes it worse I know it is hard to let it out or to open up to some one I have been there I have muted my self on purpose for a whole year before and that didn't help that just made the bulling worse so open up to people share your thoughts and feelings I know it seems like a girl thing to do but I promise you dan it helps a lot

[Daniel Whitaker]

I don't know what else to do. Everyone expects me to be the good guy, the perfect one. I just shut down and keep quiet.

[child of God]

I know what that's like just be your self not what others want you to be don't let what people think defind who you are

[Daniel Whitaker]

But what about my family? What about them?

[child of God]

It's ok family can be mean sometimes still just be your self don't let a parent define who you are either be who you want to be

[Daniel Whitaker]

[child of God]

[Daniel Whitaker]
