take a look at that girl—
little miss invisible.

she smiles outside,
but do you know she’s crying within?
silent screams—
pleas no one can hear.

don’t let us pretend.
life is no fairytale.
she cries out,
but the
silence is







too loud.

people don’t see, until it’s too late.

You know my name, not my story. You’ve heard what I’ve done, not what I’ve been through. Do you have any idea what it feels like to never be good enough?

I think your poem is perfect and filled with real and painful emotion. The silence sucks, so keep writing and I hope that you'll feel seen and be seen very soon.
