Shy, tomboy

Cory

December 17, 2015

my tears wash around me,

I fall to the ground,

on my knees I sob,

why am i so stupid,

this world is not for me,

I am a mistake,

but I cannot be erased,

I put a fake smile on my face,

inside I know I am not loved,

or wanted,

I am weak,

I start to shake,

then i hear him laughing,

calling me pretty,

saying "I love you,"

It is Cory,

my tears vanish,

my dark thoughts subside,

for a moment I believe I am meant to be here, 

that I am loved,

so I answer, "I love you too,"

meaning every word, 

and I rise from the ground,

not as weak as I once was.
