I’ve Been Known

by Hannah

 

I’ve been known to lash out, freak out, to hide how I feel.
I’ve been known to use things to numb my yesterdays,
To have strength, but allow words to break me, 
To have my self-esteem in the hands of others,
To put myself down instead of lifting myself up,
To allow others to hurt me, to put up with everything,
To take one day at a time,
Make today better than yesterday,
To get myself off the hook.
