Second Guessing

A poem by me, I guess.

I remain
Untouched
By society, yes.
But never
Uninfluenced.
I'm losing my control
I need help -
But, hell,
All I get is silence.
My so called
Mother
Father
Friends,
They all say
"Don't second guess yourself."
But to understand me,
You have to.
Second guess my
Smile,
Laugh,
Long sleeves.
Second guess my
"I'm fine."
Please,
I beg of you.
Somebody,
Anybody,
Help....

Sometimes thinking twice is a good thing.

This sounds like me as a teen. the long sleeves and im fine. Funny how hearing that agai brings back the memories of not being fine at all. Thinking twice is a good thing. great write.
