Never Ending Race

We stand together
Them and me
They make a joke
But they don't even see
That the smile I wear
Isn't even real
This is not the real me
This is not how i feel
I laugh along
Just because
They are my "friends"

At least they was

I feel so alone
So out of this place
Why can't I stick up for myself?
I know I can't win this race

The desire to be accepted and liked sometimes camouflages our real emotions. Nice work, Alli. Love, Carolyn

What are you talking about? Alli if something is wrong, you need to tell us. We can't read your mind. I don't want there to be a problem, but this poem really stings.
