All in my Head

The first poem in Emotive (other than the preface poem).

Every day is a challenge

Every day is a struggle

I'm left here to scavenge

Rummaging through the rubble

Trying to piece together

My broken heart

With how much I endeavor,

It seems like an art

Constantly fooling everyone

I don't want them to see

How much damage has been done

To the real me

Everything is a game

And I always wear masks

Avoiding the shame

Is the hardest of tasks

I've never felt good enough

Or strong like they said

The going's always been rough

Or was that all in my head?

Very good. I liked it. you maintained the rhythm through the entire poem. You can stated what you wanted to say in a very compact form.
