Image of a Perfect Student
You ask why, but I cant give the real answer
The story cant be heard
No its not correct to say the things that happened
Get personal,
NEVER! Its inappropriate..
But what if my story defines me
What if my story reflects how I think
What if my story is something I carry with me every day
Forced to stay silent
Becuase you might be uncomfortable
I cant say that Ive been sexually abused
Or that Ive been called a whore
No, I shouldnt mention my mother died
And definitely not that my grandma died too
You cant know the weight I feel everyday
No one must know how worthless I feel
That I feel unworthy to be in a Honor Program
Never! Its Blasphemy to say what happened
Its horrible to say that I made blood leave my veins,
Or that Im far to familiar with the Mental Hospital
No, they must all think Im pretty
I must be polite and smile
Its priority to make them comfortable
They must feel I belong
That Depression does not fight with my sanity
They cant know the struggle with sleep
Or the scars on my arm
It must never been spoken of the flashbacks or sounds heard
The faces seen, and sins made
Words cant be spoken of those Memories
I cant say I was touched or lefted
No I have to work
I need to make them think that I can do something
Everyone has to think I am OK!
They must believe that I dont take medication
They must think that I am normal
I'm a freak if I tell them
I dont belong in their world if they ever know
I must be: The Perfect Student
