Poem Title:
Poem
I was the ugly ducking who was never accepted Bullies made me hate school, but my mistakes came as a better lesson Me, myself and I were together stepping I began to like being the ugly duckling, even if I was never accepted Parents weren't around to protect me or guide me Faking a smile to hide the real issues I was facing Too much courage to hide, but not enough to fight back those who would bully and fight me Writing rhymes, trying to be Eminem and hide that my heart was breaking For some reason I was popular with girls but I got bored quick Sleeping with numerous girls to try and hide the flaws I was born with I was so used to being tortured and tomented But the dreams I sold to these girls were borrowed they weren't authentic Played girls thinking I had a reason because my mother was never there for me So I was blaming all of these girls because my mum wasn't in my story Flawed logic but I was a bullied teenager who had a way with ladies Didn't want a cure for my bipolar or depression I was happy with staying crazy Self-harming so what the bullies did, didn't even come close to the pain I caused myself Flaws thinking, teachers didn't offer me help Until I overdosed on tablets, and they began to ask why I said you see it all at school, but you force me to mask why When I woke up from the overdose I began to see I had a reason to be here even if I didn't understand why I began to write more about my pain and made my suicidal plans die 10 years later, I'm still flawed and damaged but in a much better place The ugly duckling was put through hell, but I found my own heaven gates
