Even though depression has took its toll,
I am as tough as a pair of old boots,
From the hip is where I always shoot.

I resemble a butterfly, but sting like a bee,
I am proud of who I am, I am proud to be me,
To look at me you wouldn’t think,
That I am a bad girl who loves to drink.

I always make sure that I look nice,
But underneath I’m not all sugar & spice,
Looks can be so very deceiving,
Behind the make-up is a lost soul grieving.

I look like a princess with my long, flowing hair,
But can cut you dead with my icy stare,
I dress well in front of the whole world,
But on the inside I am a messed up little girl.

My smile can be bitter & so very sweet,
But I am a girl, who stands on her own two feet,
The words I speak can cut you like a knife,
That’s what comes from having a tainted life.

This was very insightful. Alot of emotion in this one.

It gave a glimpse of who you are, thru your inner eyes.

You paint the picture well with your words - you have a gift, the ability to write and make people think.

This is a great one! I feel that every word is true too.
I can tell you have been through a lot, have come a long way and are still kicking!
Good for you!
