The Story of Me

She walks around wearing the biggest smile But those who really kno her see right thru her disguise Knowing its only there to hide the pain and the tears that fill her eyes The emotions that only come out in the dead of night She spends all day trying to fight But alone at night she knows what lonely feels like And everything she hides inside finds its way out Everyone she’s ever loved, those who’ve let her down Those are the things she finds herself thinking about All the words she didn’t have the courage to say Again and again in her head they replay The ‘what ifs’ and ‘what could’ve been’ If she’d only done things a little differently A tear falls as the start to another sad song begins Another blank sheet of paper and another pen Writing has become her secret escape That being said another poem comes to an end But soon very soon She’ll find herself here again To tell of another tale Or in this case… Another story of what seems to be Just another ordinary day In this storybook starring me!!!!
