This is my first poem that I actually wrote in English right away. I use to write in swedish, and then translate it so it fits an english format. This is also my first poem with english rhymes.

I hope it's readable. Otherwise, you can find the text under the picture.

For what? That I got out of bed?

That my tears are on my pillow instead of my face?

For my total and crazy lack off grace?

Congratulations they said

For what? For the anxiety I had?

For the years that have gone by

The life I don't have even though I try

Congratulations they said

For what? That I live but feel dead?

For the pain that is stuck in my heart?

Like someone with my soul is playing dart

Congratulations I say to me

For what? That I am going to be free

Wash my pillows with my tears

Live, and actually face my fears

Congratulations I say

For what? I am going out to play!

Play dart with my anxiety inside

Throw it away along with the pain I hide

Congratulations to myself

For what? I will put my pain on a shelf

 Look at it as nothing to hide

Hope I will question why I even tried

Congratulations to me

For what? That I am beginning to see

That my feelings matters,and soon a person I will be

Yes, I will fly, I will dive, I will be free...
