Me Poem by Jessica Henning

You want to know who i am not a joke at all...
You want to know my every thing... or any thing at all...

im a girl of just eighteen slender all throughout
i never thought much of myself im all filled up with doubt...

the darkest of the browns fill my head with curls
im not your usual im not like other girls...

my eyes are very rare, the blue surrounds the green
im always looking at the floor its a shame to be seen...

im broken deep within and my dreams are out of sight
i act out with my anger, i put out my fists to fight...

my family is a wreck and they blame me for it too
ive been hospitalized and medicated what else is there to do...

the cuts along my wrists were to ease my every pain
id slice it right across each and every vain...

my imperfection shines for my life is down in hell
theres no need for me to try i always seem to fail...

i never thought my life could end up in this mess
its no one elses fault its mine i must confess...

the people that i love are left behind a wall
i keep it up to save them from my greatest fall...

no smile emerges this young girls heart
she is nothing special but shes falling apart...

this is me and this is who i am
if you have a problem... i dont give a damn!
