I Was Born

A Poem About Coming to Terms With Yourself and Struggling

By Savanna MoorePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I was born to be the person I live up to be.

I am strong enough to fight off the demons,

And to control my dreams,

That somehow controlled me.

There are young souls out there questioning themselves,

And I strive to help them.

They come to me,

And I come to them.

I was born to be the person I live up to be.

I stand up for myself, fight back at the demons who try and control me.

The vultures pick at my flesh and bones,

Taking away the things I need.

I can't seem to get them back.

My heart and soul are slowly breaking apart.

I hide the pain and suffering,

With smiles and laughter.

I'm slowly dissolving.

I look the way I am, because I choose the way I look.

I can be self-conscious, and afraid to go in public,

But I just have to deal with it, and show that I am strong.

I have compliments here and there,

But most of the time I'm invisible to others.

I am a ghost that wants some company,

But no one seems to want me.

I face the fact that people don't like me.

I deal with the looks people give me,

And the things they say to me.

It breaks me apart,

And they leave a piece of me broken.

That's okay,

No matter what I do,

My friends will always be there to pick me back up.

They don't judge the mistakes I make,

And they always forgive me.

You can't live forever,

And you can't hide forever.

Because in the end,

You can't turn back.

You live up to be the person you strive to be.
