Healing and Hardships 15-28

Can't you see It's her not me I’m being framed That girl was my friend But now she’s HER friend And I can't talk to them? What the hell Where is SHE getting these games? Why am I the only one being told off When she clearly is doing shady business I got a 9/10 on my maths I showed mom SHE said that SHE got a 10/10 last year I CAN EAT Everything ANYTHING Mayo on a spoon? I’m in 6th grade, and 65 lbs Isn't that funny They say I should eat Therapy and drugs Angry outburst IT'S NOT MY FAULT But I need to pretend I agree I'm thinking that ADHD isn't all that is wrong I can't put my finger on it But explosive anger is unusual at my age Clumpy hair Tendrils of oil We need to learn proper hygiene Gym class I am weaker than my peers But I still try my best I am always picked last How come the deaf girl suddenly gets treated special I have problems too But nobody pretends to like me Anti Bullying is just for show I've never seen the girls act differently Toward my hidden disability Could it be my fault People can't come near When all I do is shout And talk off their ear I've decided. Age 13. Grade 8. Next year will be different I need to let go I'll keep all my stories But no more anger No more pain No more what if’s
