sometimes i'm really small

sometimes i'm really small

A Poem by Abby L.

sometimes i'm really small


sometimes i’m really small


like my little heart can’t touch you at all


and i think the beating could just stop


and i don’t know if your thoughts could drop


to my small little level of hurt


i feel my body shrinking through my shirt


i really want to just leave


but i couldn’t bear to see you grieve


and i just stand here listening to you


but my self-esteem acts like glue


as it catches ever little action


and won’t even budge a fraction


i’ve convinced myself of who i am


and i tell myself i’m a sham


cause i act like a catch


when i feel like i’m trash


and my thoughts all become crammed


i try to climb out of my pit


but my personalities become split


as one chains me down


one takes my crown


and another tells me to just quit


i’m trapped in myself when I’m quiet


cause all i can hear is the silence


and i'm smiling at you


but my heart becomes blue


and my thoughts are killing me inside

Beautiful; as sometimes, only the saddest sentiments can be.
