Everyone Else Poem by Sara Panicali

You care so much for everyone else
That I doubt you even see
What I'm going through
That's what hurts the most
Because you call me your girl
Do you know how many times
I've cried and rocked myself to sleep lying right next to you?
How many times I have a hard time standing up?
Crying mý eyes out like a baby sitting in the shower?
Because I'm tired of fighting
But to afraid to come to the one
I say I love
Thinking I'll either be judged
Brushed off like I'm some annoying fly
Making me feel like I don't matter at all
