They know me by my looks and how i act

                  But they don't know what goes on inside my head

                  I am called mean and crazy

                  I am, but i'm also insane

                 I cut and try to kill myself because i thought it could ease the pain

                 But you see i write a poem to discuss my darkness

                 We all have depression or other mental illness

                  But some of us can't let it go, we are all different

                 Can i tell people what i'm thinking

                 Yes i can,because every word you say or write will eliminate some of the bad things that you think about in your life

                  Can i put the razor down and try to pick up a flower

                   Yes i can, because everytime you pick up that flower, your sadness will go away every single hour

                    Can I smile even though i am down

                     Yes i can because smiling is the key to everything

                     Smiling boost up your self-esteem 

                     Can i love someone without them hurting me

                      Before you try to love someone start loving yourself

                       I thought i was too skinny and was a curse

                      But i found out, loving yourself actually doesn't hurt

                      It made me feel more confident in myself

                      Can i change my appearence just so a guy can like me

                     Yes i can, but i will NOT CHANGE a THING

                      If you want to change somehthing about yourself 

                      Take a moment and think about it 

                     Do you want to do this for your own purpose

                      If so go ahead, YOU ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL but the new you,door is wide open

                       Show your cuteness, or handsomeness no matter what

                        Why? Well because you have something WORTH LIVING FOR

                        I use to think i had no future

                        But then, my eyes open and i remember

                       I was happy, a good child, i can still be the little angel in the clouds

                      I can still be with the sun and the doves

                      I realize I CAN handle MY DEPRESION and MENTAL ILLNESS

                     By doing what I LOVE and SPEAKING

                     Shy, not sure if nobody will understand you

                    I DO, I really undertand that you have nothing but the moon

                    But guess what, we both have the stars

                    Twinkling with every scar 

                    DON'T MESS UP or THROW AWAY YOUR BODY

                    YOU ARE TOO PERFECT and THIS WORLD NEED YOU AND I 

                    So next time ask yourself CAN I, and then say YES YOU CAN, AND WELCOME BACK YOUR OLD FRIEND
