Genesis Sanchez Poet Rhyme

Hiding True Feelings

 Sometimes I'd rather smile then cry
 make pretend everything's fine
 Look at the smile on my face
 feel the pain in my eyes 
 hiding true feelings sucks
 but its better then showing them off. 

 Laugh and smile
 but in pain inside
 lock yourself in a bathroom
 break down, and start to cry
 see yourself in the mirror
 and finally you realize
 that the person you're trying to be
 isnt who you really are.

 sometimes you try to be strong
 but it takes a real person to cry
 thats why i do it behind doors 
 no one needs to see my tears fall.

i dont let people see me cry
 but they never look within
 because even though my smile is out there
 my eyes show the real pain inside.

 if you looked into my eyes 
 you will see the misery
 i'd rather keep it to myself
 cause sharing it might cause grief.

 take my pain to the grave
 and pretend everythings okay
 if pain tries to catch up
 im just going to runaway.
