Good Day

an emotional poem during a tough time

I had a good day today,

Though not in every way.

It went mostly as it should

A few things were good.

I got to talk to you

Made me feel not so blue.

I did a few things around the house.

Still I am quiet as a mouse.

I am trying to be real

So you can get the real deal.

I hate being fake

Too many times I have made this mistake.

I had a good day.

"I hate being fake, to many times I have made this mistake.." This pretty much describes what I'm feeling right now. My best friend knows about my self harm. He self harms too. But he's been clean for many days, while I've only been clean for a few hours. But I've finally decided to just not tell him anymore.. All I do is hurt his heart when I tell him that I've done it. So now I need to be fake, I've made the mistake of telling him too much. I'm just going to tell him I'm happy, so he can be happy.

I don't think you should be fake. What I think you should do is tell your friend honestly what your feeling, how, and why you are feeling what you are. Honesty is always the better road to take, which is what my poem was supposed to be about. It may be hard in the beginning to be honest to your friend but in the end it will pay off and it will make you feel better in the end. Please if you need to talk to someone you can add me and have someone to talk to. Self harm should never be an answer. Good luck and thanks for the review.
