Perfect
No, you don't understand;
I'm not trying to impress you,
I'm trying to out-do her.
Okay.
Maybe I'm just trying to impress you.
Isn't it
The same thing?
Can you blame me, really?
You're so
Perfect.
Everything I've ever dreamed of,
You are.
You say, "come on,
Baby. You know I'm not
perfect."
(you're wrong.)
You say
You love me
You want me
You care.
And you say
I'm beautiful
I'm funny
I'm brilliant.
But you're still with her.
And it hurts.

My Life Story
My Story and Struggle with Self-Harm
This is a rough subject for me, but it needs to be explained. I feel that a lot of people out there may not understand why I do it because I've never fully explained it properly.
I started self-harming in middle school. I can't remember my exact age or what grade I was in, but I believe it was seventh. It was simple. I ran my blade for shaving across my upper arm. And that was it.
Why I started at that time…
I was mercilessly tortured in Middle School. Verbally abused on a daily basis. I was told I was worthless, filthy, a germ, never bathed, no one loved me, my friends all hated me, etc. All thes

No Matter What
I am me
Long hair,
Short hair,
glasses or none,
I am me,
am I not?
Boy or girl,
straight or not,
It don't matter what I got,
I'm still me,
no matter what.
You can't control me,
Can't change me,
so just let me be me,
you can't tell me what I am.
So love me,
hate me,
Do you think I really care?
I'm just gonna be myself,
because no matter how different,
I am me,
no matter what.
So whoever you are,
don't let people define you,
be yourself,
be the you that's you,
because you are you,
no matter what.

in honor of the song "Make It Stop (September's Children)" by Rise Against. For The "It Get's Better Movement" and in honor of the gay teen suicides that took place in September of last year
that song placed a hope in me, that it WILL get better. even though it doesn't seem like any of this will. all the suicides, the bullying. all of it.
it has to end.
but the night is always darkest before the Dawn.
IT WILL GET BETTER

This poem has such deep meaning. You did well to capture the same empowerment that Rise Against's song and video did.
Great job!!
