This poem was written by Margaret
do you know you?
*
THE REAL ME
*
As I stand here and look at my reflection
what do I see not me
this person in the mirror is not who i want to be
I'm yelling release the real me
*
I am a beauty stuck in this body that I hate
wanting, wishing, hoping to escape
*
In this world of pretty faces and nice tight bodies
where do I stand
I'm the face under a mask of sadness
*
Because of how I look
I'm a person behind a lifetime of fear
I am the fat girl that no one hears
the skinny girl to whom everyone stares
*
It's not like anyone cares
But why should they
I don't love myself enough to be loved
so maybe I should work on me
*

Margaret,
I really felt that poem and I'm sure anyone else who hears it will, too! Your voice is very expressive. Keep on writing and performing!
