A Smile To Hide the Pain
A part from my Journal
when i sit at my home with my family
i see they all look the same they act the same
dress the same and think the same
soon theyll discover that i dont belong
they want me to be plastic like them
but i cant i wont let them take me
my poems have been about depression
heartache and pain ever since i started
it dont seem to heal the wound
the scars i carry and the pain that bleeds from my soul
i cant really pour out my feelings for you
its hard for you to understand
no one knows me because i wont let them in
i wont let them see the truth behind the person
that they imagine me to be
the smile everyone wears on a sunday morning is only
a wall they put up to hide there pain
so i tuck it all away and act like im okay
so everyone will see me the way that i see them
