Emily Schmittling Poem
No one knows who I am inside,
My true feelings I hide,
Outside you see bright eyes,
It's all just lies,
A smile covers my face,
My heart is screaming to get out this place,
I'm tough and stand my ground,
Because inside I can't make a sound,
I feel empty here and there,
Sometimes so much pain I can't bare,
My heart is heavy and cold,
Intense pressure I just might fold,
Loneliness fills me within,
Somehow I still grin,
Emptiness tries to consume my soul,
Won't suck me thru that black hole,
Fighting the demons deep inside,
No place I can run or hide,
Reality keeps pulling me down,
Head under water I might drown,
Hard to breath unable to speak,
Inside I feel so weak,
Thoughts so deep so raw so real,
Numb inside I just want to feel,
Playing the game is the only way to survive,
Each day I'm given a reason to thrive,
Two little babies with beautiful smiles,
Just for them all worth wild,
Every 16hr shift and sleepless night,
Is nothing as long as they sleep tight,
They won't see the world through my eyes,
All the heart ache all the drama and lies,
A world so cold cruel and dark,
This I promise to leave my mark...

Emily Schmittling Poem
You know my name but do you know me,
I live in the mind of many you see,
Hidden behind a series of masks,
I make everything difficult simplest of tasks,
I make it hard to get out of bed some days impossible,
The tears you cry are not optional,
I pick at you until you’re to weak to stand,
make you feel ashamed so you won’t ask for a hand,
Make you think something is wrong with you,
Criticize everything little thing you do,
Make you feel like you’re never good enough,
With me around life will be rough,
Figure out my name yet,
If not don’t fret,
I’ll be revealed before you realize,
It won’t come as much as a surprise,
That feeling of overwhelming sadness,
The millions of thoughts is pure madness,
Do you feel that knot in throat all that pressure,
Do you know who I am a feeling a state of mind , depression.
