Heads or Tails?
Sometimes I want to be noticed
Sometimes I want to be alone
Sometimes I want to be the center of attention
Sometimes I want to be a blur in the crowd
There are times when I am confident of myself
There are times when I question why I’m alive
There are times when I am on top of the world
There are times when I sink into the pits of hell
Why am I happy?
Why am I sad?
Why am I the happy person they think they know?
Why am I actually depressed and alone?
I can throw the blade away
I can cut deeper
I can be happy
I can be sad
There are two sides to every coin
And tails show up more than heads
Sometimes I want to be alone
Sometimes I want to be the center of attention
Sometimes I want to be a blur in the crowd
There are times when I am confident of myself
There are times when I question why I’m alive
There are times when I am on top of the world
There are times when I sink into the pits of hell
Why am I happy?
Why am I sad?
Why am I the happy person they think they know?
Why am I actually depressed and alone?
I can throw the blade away
I can cut deeper
I can be happy
I can be sad
There are two sides to every coin
And tails show up more than heads

Love the last two lines, it's like you're sort of rambling off these rapid fire thoughts through the entire poem, arguing with yourself like alot people that hurt themselves tend to do and then at the end you just state this very nice blunt fact.
"There are two sides to every coin
And tails show up more than heads"
After all those feelings and opinions of yourself and what you should and shouldn't do. You just end it with this very blunt, harsh statement.
A gamble, tossing a coin. And fate tells you to pick the greater of two evils. Love it, it truly captures how someone whom is either self-harms or is depressed would feel.
Great job.
