Thank You
Gwen C ( 8th Grade )
To my friends To my family To the ones that will always be there for me To those who spend time just to make me sm :) e . To those who can always turn my frown around Whenever I need you most You ’ re there for me Like water for plants , And air to all beings .
Thank you , To all those that listened Here ’ s the real story Behind the fake smiles I forced day after day …
My heart weeps but stays strong How would I still be here without you . Those days when I didn ’ t feel myself Instead of pushing my emotions down any further , “ Just let it out ”, they tell me . Don ’ t let anything get you down . “ Stay strong …”
How should I reply to such words ? How do I show them what I feel , when I don ’ t understand them myself ?
... days ... weeks ... years pass Before I show any sign of the weakness that lingers inside . Have I been strong for too long ? Did I think that if I held my sadness in I wouldn ’ t be seen as weak ?
The answer is yet to be discovered , I ’ m finally letting my emotions out And expressing how I feel . It ’ s nice to know I have people To back me up anytime I need .
My last question and thought ,
