The one who wears baggy clothes

by Jordyn
(Nebraska)

I go to school and act as if I feel fine
listen to people tell me all their lies
I laugh inside knowing that I'm telling my own set of lies
my lies are much deeper than theirs
I say I'm fine
when the scars prove I'm not
kids ask questions
and I ignore them
I'm the one who wears baggy clothes
and sleeps in the back of the room
wishing one of these days that
when I pick up that blade
take another drink
hit it up one more time
that it'd be the last one I ever take
because I don't want to see any of their faces
and never got to school acting as if I feel fine!
