You Are All Wrong! Poem by Kirstie Duekett

THey say I'm strong,
but inside I'm failing they are all wrong.

None of you know the truth I hide,
or how I lost my pride.

You all know everything gets to me,
but you don't hear the voices and see what I see.

You know I look for that risk all the time,
but you don't know it's only to hurt myself and I stay away from crime.

You all look at me and think I'm fat and ugly,
but you don't know that I ate for comfort in place of having a mum to be cuddly.

I get to close to people I know,
I am just looking for love so I can grow.

That's my story I guess,
Ask any counsellor to assess.
