No one really knows me
By cassi sturgeon
I’m the girl that no one really knows
The one that everybody thinks nothing of
The shy one
The quiet one
But also the one filled with loneliness and pain
No one really knows me
Or know what’s inside me
I keep quiet in big groups
And never say what I really think
No one really knows me
So I’ll go off by myself
Lay on the grass
Or walk by the river
Because they’re the only places
That I ever feel safe
And at home
No one really knows me
So when I get mad
I’m the only one I can talk to
So I grab my razor
And start opening my wrist up
Feeling relief and regret flow out of me
While I cry my eyes out
No one really knows me
And sometimes I wish I would just die
And wonder if anyone would really even care
If I was no longer alive
But deep inside
I know that death
Isn’t the cure
That I should take
hey! i know what its like to hold back and hold everything in so i can definately relate to this. i like how you start almost every stanza with the same phrase it sort of reiterates the message of the poem and it works..at least it did for me. i also liked how you compared death to a cure. ive never thought of it that way. good job on this. ~Jason
