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
