I Want Out Poem by Samarah Essler

I want out of this deep dark hole,
I'm going to try to get out that is my goal,
I'm sick of being locked up,
people keeping thinking so what,
if I don't get help,
I'm not going to be here much longer,
I'm trying hard,
I'm trying to be stronger,
I wish I was someone else,
I really do,
I hate myself,
but I got to deal with what life has given me,
so I'm going to try my hardest,
I'm going make you see.
