Breaking Silence
All these years
I tried to be perfect
I wanted to be skinny
Tall and beautiful
All I did
Was messed up my life
I was in a dark place
That I've been in
For quite sometime
I wanted to fit in
With the crowd
I used to think negative thoughts
And hide my struggles
With a smile
I wore bracelets
Upon my wrists
To keep my scars covered
So no one would see them
One time
I cut too deep
And my mother saw
She took me to rehab
There I found out
I was bipolar
I say to myself
That's no way
To out life
I'm helping others
Overcome their daily issues
I realize now
That society's
Really messed up
I have come
Out of my shell
To break the silence
That's amongst others
Talk to someone
If your thinking negative thoughts
It could help you
Become a stronger person
You are never alone
Be strong
You are worth life
Just think of yourself
As a beautiful butterfly
You are never alone
