FALL

I lied when things got tough
Convinced myself that I was enough
My tears were masked by the rain
Life turning into a storm, alone with all of this pain
I felt anger pushing through every vein
I felt like I had nothing to lose or anything to gain
If I could go back I would change it all
I would stop myself from the biggest fall
I struggled through some days, felt like I had no one by my side
I lost my confidence, my hope, my love, my pride
I went through a dark chapter in my life
Convinced myself there wasn't any light
Pushed people away
Yet i wanted them too stay
Bottled up emotions, kept them in my head
Not a single word came from my mouth, nothing said
Years passed, I knew I needed to speak
If I didn't do it now I would be more weak
I spoke, it was the best decision I ever made
I no longer pushed people away, they stayed
I felt beautiful in my own skin
I no longer bottle things up, I let people in
My biggest life lesson was not to stay silent
It helps no one at all
I picked myself up, even when i wanted too
Fall.

Excellent meter! I also loved the rhyme scheme and how it shifted in the last stanza.
It was also pretty cool how the last word is set a bit off from the rest of the poem/stanza, it makes it stand out.
Happy writing!
