It is possible to smile
To my mom who has read my poems and has always worried that I’m sad because of what there about
It is not impossible as I thought a year ago
When I was lost and scared a few lonely days
Was all I would need to feel the dark void grow
Within me
A new year had come and I was still lost in my
Own self lost within this darkness I had created
I felt like the world hated me
But now I can smile after the therapists trying to
Convince me that I wasn’t “normal” because what I
Did and all the that kids tried to say I was a freak
I realized that to be normal was to be someone and
Something I wasn’t I was finally able to accept myself
And now every day when I look in the mirror I see my
“Flaws” and I can’t help but smile
