This Is Me
i’ve gotten yelled at,
i’ve been lied to,
i watched someone die,
my cat,
my friend,
my granny,
just because a death is over does not mean closure can be found,
i struggle with anxiety,
because of my anxiety it has become my whole world,
panic disorder, social, and post traumatic the doctors decided,
i was in full distraught half my life
i have lost many friends because of this,
my life lost all of its bliss,
so it seemed,
to a starving teen,
when i was 13,
i was 20 pounds underweight,
i look normal and healthy now,
but just a few years back,
all i had to eat was carrot sticks and celery,
insecure and not alright,
middle school i watched the cool kids rule,
i sat alone at lunch,
getting smirks from the popular bunch,
i suffer from OCD,
everything has to be perfect or i feel sick to the knees,
so many have left me,
i just want to cry,
but at the end of my sobbing and writing,
i realize i can survive and fight my inside torture,
with the help and support from no one other than me,
forcing myself to believe.

This poem is about my life and what I have gone through. I finally feel content and happy with myself. I hope you enjoy this poem. It was very hard for me to write but I accept myself for who I am, and this is the real me, so you guys should know the real me as well.
