How do you smile today

How do you smile today

I’m a 19 year old girl and to be honest nobody truly knows the real me. During my dropper phase I went through a lot it was traumatic as my neet exam didn’t go well enough to get me into a government college❤️‍🩹 and that’s been hard to accept I have been hiding so many feelings deep inside me. But today I wrote a poem about everything I have been carrying. Today my heart finally spoke out loud 🫶🏻

Here it goes

IF THEY KNEW ME;

NOT THE ME I PERFORM

BUT THE ME I PROTECT

THE QUIET ACHE BEHIND THE LAUGH

THE THOUGHTS I NEVER SPEAK

THEY HAD UNDERSTAND WHY I PULL AWAY

RIGHT WHEN I WANT TO BE HELD

IF THEY KNEW ME

THEY HAD STOP CALLING ME MOODY

AND START CALLING ME HUMAN

BECAUSE I’M NOT COLD

I’M LAYERED

NOT DISTANT JUST TIRED OF NOT BEING SEEN

I’M NOT MADE FOR SMALL SPACES

I’M OCEANS; PRETENDING TO BE RAIN
