I'M Trying Poem by Alyssha Middleton

trying to hide
from things you cant hide from
trying to not just your friends and family
by pushing them away
trying to not hurt yourself
by locking yourself in a room
trying to not be caught in drama
by walking away
trying to get away from the old life
by being someone i'm not
trying to fit it
by keeping to myself
trying to not care what others think
by not listening and walking away
trying to stop being depressed
by smiling and laughing at everything
trying ti not break down into tears
by hiding my pain with a smile
trying to not show how i really feel
by pretending like i'm fine
getting to the point
where you have lied
to many times
that everyone believes you
when you say
nothings wrong
i'm fine
