Laughing
with friends.
Smiling
and happy.
Joking
for fun.
Bouncing
about,
Nothing
wrong.

Denied.

Going
to parties.
Dancing
the night away.
Walking
with my head up.
Singing,
free-spirited.

Denied.

Crying happy tears instead of
sad.
Looking in the mirror,
Loving myself instead of
hating.
Awaking instead of
sleeping.
Breathing instead of
drowning.

Denied.

Living instead of
dying

to be okay.

Denied.
