when your alter needs to get their turn at the keyboard... you really should just let them have their say.

Poem Artwork

Once upon

a time of  my own

I only could wonder

I only was shown

 

I am someone

Not someone you see

 

I just want and

I am just me

 

I am the other

The one they call them

 

I am the other the

One they condemn

 

I just wanted

I was me

 

I only wanted

For others

To see

 

 Inside it’s dark and it’s lonely

I’m scared

 

I only wondered

And wanted

And cared

 

They only saw me as

Other

And

‘no’

 

I only wanted the

Others to

Know

 

 

That I

 Am

Still

Here.

As I read I couldn't help thinking that you have six siblings and are having a hard time getting noticed or even time on the keyboard to enter your own thoughts. Perhaps I am wrong. One thing about being in a large family, it helps create tolerance and understanding of sharing.

You are right! I am me, and I can only be me, and no one else.
