I Miss Myself

I miss myself 
what have I become
I put me on a shelf
And I became shamed and shunned
why does this happen to me
I hate it so much 
I hate what it’s turning me out to be
I’m not that tough
I’ve been hurt, I’ve been abused
But it helps to talk and cry
I’ve been pained, I’ve been used
But I’m not ready to say goodbye
Don’t worry I’m getting help
I’m sharing my story with them
I won’t promise I won’t melt
But the pain is starting to dim
Just don’t leave me 
Don’t let me fall
My future is meant to be
I will stand up tall
