In The Dark Poem by Ishmael E. Balfour

Here my story I want to share,

You see this isn't the true me,

I hide my scars and tears away,

Under a hoodie or sweater,

So no one will question me,

I stay by myself because I not good enough,

Someday I think I have no friends,

Depression and griefing about a family death,

Takes a toll on me,

I can tell everyone how I feel,

But it doesn't change anything,

I was happy and now it's fading away,

Poems seem to be my happniess,

Since that one person went away.
