I am a teenager suffering


I am a teenager suffering from PTSD, anxiety and depression. 

I freak out when I'm in crowds or around a stranger.

I am able to subdue all of the emotion, 

But this causes me to be overwhelmed with anger. 

I am someone who wants to be able to make a friend,

without shaking and being scared to talk.

I am someone who wants to be able to do a presentation to the end. 

I want to be able to go through a crowd and not shake when I walk. 

I am someone who started off much different than the present me. 

I use to be able to talk to people, I was outgoing. 

I am someone who was bullied because no one knew me. 

My friendliness use to be outflowing. 

I am someone who use to self harm. 

I use to hate my life and wanted to be invisible. 

I have scars on my legs and arm.

Which are some times very visible. 

I am someone shaped by things unthinkable.

I suffer every day from these mental scars. 

I am pain from bullying which is unsinkable,  

But I keep my dreams and goals in the stars.
