Still Me

by Yours Truly - Aquarius

if you took the time
you would actually see
all the hurt
that is bottled up in me
all the pain
that causes me distress
all the lies
that burn my happiness
if someone took the time
and actually asked me why
i lay alone at night
and stiffle my cries
would they 
tell me everything will be ok
that there is help
and that they would stay
or would they still
mock me at the sight
of a young girl
destined to give up the fight
maybe i am not so strong
as people have to be
i might be weaker than you
but i still can be
like i always was
with one foot out the door
sitting in a dark corner
wishing for something more
