Grand Appearance
can anyone hear me?
am I screaming too loud?
I can't hear myself
over the croud,
the croud of people
who never see me as I am.
they never see the pain,
and heartbreak,
I keep balled up inside,
cuz I never show them
the real me.
the real me is screaming
from behind these walls
that I have erected,
to keep her hidden and shut off.
but I finally decided
to show the real me,
and if people don't like her,
they can just leave.
the real me is weird,
different and unique,
interesting if you get to know her,
and don't judge her  by what you see.
she has lifelong marks,
proof of several months of torture.
her scars are her lifeline,
so don't give up because of them.
look for her beauty inside,
past her life of pain
cuz she looks inside of you,
and sees the true you as well.
she wants t o be treated
like a normal humal being,
not some psycho,
who's been hospitalized
(voluntarily, I might add)
six different times.
so next time you see me,
look for her too,
cuz I got a feeling
she'll be making
her grand appearance.

This was written when I was hopsitalized for the sixth time.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, and she has made her grand appearance since then as well.
