Please Everyone Else Poem by Stephanie Dunne

I try to please everyone else
and try to make them happy
Just so that I don’t have to feel
My pain inside

I hurt so much
And tell them all
But no matter what
I just cant help myself
So I hide my pain away

I drink my sorrow away
And cut my pain away
No matter what I do
It just won't go away

I hear everyone else’s pain
And help them
As much as I can
Just to block
My hurt away

Even now 7 years on
I still have to hide
The pain away

Care about everyone else
At 11 be an adult
This was my childhood
And the way I lived
Just because my parents
Made me like this
