"Its all about me"

I probably shouldn’t confess

But I’ve had enough

I laugh, I smile, I breathe

Even though I wish I was dead


I’m the quiet kind

I don’t complain

I’m the teacher’s pet

My friends are slipping away


Its enough to feel like

A reject at school

But to feel like a stranger

In your own home?


On the outside

I’m confident, smart

Even happy

But on the inside

I’m shattering to pieces….

This poem or confession is something which i think most teens go through but never have the courage to tell.
