“Unveiling Secrets: What Lies Beneath the Surface of Megan Jamie’s Poignant Poem”
So you left the warmth and protection of your birthplace
They didn’t tell you it would hurt like hell
That you can slap a smile on all you like
Go about your day
Chopping carrots, reading textbooks, coffee dates with friends
But there will still be that tugging deep inside you
They said
You are strong
You can defeat it
You can manage it
They said
It doesn’t make you weaker
Maybe, but you will be tested every day,
Torn down just a little every time something goes wrong
“Think happy thoughts”
“Happiness is a choice”
“Be grateful, you have a roof over your head”
“What is your problem?”
