An Expert

I have become an expert. An expert of pretending. I've fooled so many people. Made them think I'm so good. That I'm okay. That I'm fine. That I'm happy. But really I'm not. For I am dead inside. I tried for so long To act like I'm okay. Lied to myself for a long time. Tried to make myself believe it. So now I don't care. I'm finally accepting it. And there's nobody who Can stop me. Cause I'll keep pretending For the benefit of others. Just to keep my secret. For I am forever gone.

The good thing about poetry is that we can write our pain in fiction or in fact and get it out. Keep writing :)

Something we all do is pretend we are okay to ourselves and to others. Sometimes we believe we are okay when we are not. Hugs. Janet
