Where Were You Poem by Haley Brown

Where Were You



Where were you when I needed you?
I screamed and screamed
But no one seemed to hear.
I felt trapped,
As if there was someone keeping the world out.

Then I realized,
I was that something. I had put up a wall,
But, I didn't want to keep others out.
I wanted to see who cared enough to knock it down.

I am hurt
And confused.
My friends try, But I can't let them in.
They just don't see my load.

I really want someone to talk to.
I haev so many emotions built up inside.
They are getting so hard to hide.

I go through each day,
Trying to make everything seem okay.

I make it through each day,
A little tired, al ittle thin.
I go to school with shadows beneath my eyes.

I try to laugh, and smile
Even try to laugh on cue.

I act like nithing happened.
When it hits me I crumble down and cry.
My life slowly becoming a lie.

All I want is ofr someone to hold me,
And say,
'Honey everything will be alright,
I'll be here by your side.
I'll hold you when you cry.'

Deep down maybe
Just, maybe I know whats wrong.
Maybe I can make it stop.
I can't face it.
Not yet.
I wish someone would help me understand,
Cuz God only knows I don't.
