No one really knows me

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

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem because this is how i really feel and what i really do. I've always loved poetry but ive never been very good at it. This is probaly the best and longest one i've ever done, even though it's kind of depressing.

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
