Poem by
Aleeza
On the
outside I’m happy
Sometimes
slightly snappy
Inside I feel
dead
My soul
is locked up in a shed
Happiness
is drifting away
Why can’t
it stay
Friends cheering
me up
But it
doesn’t feel enough
One day
will come
To bring
back the happy sun
Poem by Maiya
They go
around the ocean
I am the
prey of the sea monsters
I am the
victim of people
Voices by
Safiyah
The voices
tell me no one cares
About me
and my stories
The voices
tell me I should go
On a
stabbing spree with myself
The voices
tell my head
To have a
headache and stress
The voices
make me see things
Like people
in empty cars
The voices
tell me things
I don’t
want to hear
These voices
Are my
depression
Poem by
Aaysha
Show happiness
from the outside
Smile and
wave
Inside it’s
hell
Pain and
sadness
Heart shattered
But can’t
let anyone know
Keeping a
dark secret
People drifting
away
The world
upside down
Loneliness
is haunting
Life is
not worth it
Memories gone
Gone forever
Holding it
in
The day
will come
Without me
knowing
I will
fall in a black hole of emptiness forever
I will be
waiting.
