I Am Happy

When will it end,
This falseness 
So pretend.
Misleading lies retold to get a point across
But which of these lies are legitimately covered up? 
transparent with factual truth to seem like in the end this lie, 
This lie must be true.
This is what she must do.
Listen to you? Man.. You gotta be outta your mind if it's that what you honestly think I'll do, is 
sit and listen to you
Someone who knows nothing what goes on inside
These emotions- they run and hide,
Killing the pride 
The emotion the guilt the lie 
I have to always uncover because of the coward,
Unable to sit and discuss
Scared to beat emotions, bruise thoughts
Well news flash 
It already hurts 
Already bleeds
How must I succeed 
If I can't make anyone proud.
The fact is it's ignored
There's always better but isn't that a cliche
Anyone could have better?
What if my better was your worse
And vice versa like a curse,
Should I still take orders, take the lies, take the gossip
Cause right now I'm sailing off this ship 
Ready to jump off-fall
Lose this all
And maybe after all this thought 
Maybe once it's thought through
That the falseness 
The pretend are ruining it, ruining what could be
Maybe
Just maybe 
You should trust me.

Hi Sara, the relevance of the topic, to the body of your poem eludes me, how could you be happy going through all that, unless, of course you are connected to The Holy One, but overall, a disturbing and deep write. Your words are saying there are a lot of hurt, distrust, lies and pretence going on there. Be strong and lean not on your own understanding, but trust God to guide you through whatever it is you are facing. Blessings, my friend. Joy (Jew)
