Journal Entry 003

I needed a hug when I felt depressed 

I needed a hug when I felt ugly in that dress

I needed a hug when I lost all my friends 

I needed a hug when certain lives came to an end

I needed a hug when I felt fat

I needed a hug or maybe a pat on the back

I put on smile so no one knew

I put on a smile that wasn’t true

I put on a smile to hide my pain

I put on a smile but my pillow had tear stains

I put on smile so I wasn’t a burden

I put on smile to hide I was broken 

It went away but it always comes back

It went away but I still see black

It went away I thought I was fine

It went away but for a brief amount of time 

It went away I tried to convince

It went away but I haven’t been the same since
