Elizabeth Lindsey Poet I do not know?

All Smiles

I know I‘m not perfect.
You seem to think I don’t have struggles.
Have you tried looking past, my little fake smiles?
Why have you not asked, do you want  to stay awhile.
Never once did you stop and ask me the way I felt.
You've berried me so far in the ground that I cant get out.


Look at me for once.
See me for who i really am.
I’m a girl just like you, maybe just with more pain.
I never let you know this, that i have scars within.
I never wanted to tell you this, but my life is just a sin..
I try to do my best,
but my best is never enough.
What am I here for, can you tell me this.
Look past my smile, and the pretty little face.
Look at  me on the inside, look at my brokenness.
