I made it

thought I was gone
I thought there was no finding me beneath 


Beneath all the failure 
Beneath all the jokes
Beneath all the disguises 


I thought nobody was helping me 
I thought that I was too far gone 


Beneath it all
I pushed the branches 
I pulled the vines 
I cut all the thorns 


I survived 
Beneath it all 
I made it happen 
Beneath it all 
I did it

As a teenager we deal with alot of different things, including mental health. I went through a mental health battle recently and it took all my effort. This poem is about me making it through on my own despite what anyone said or did.
