The True Me

Always feeling I don't belong, Hiding in behind a smile. Feeling everything I do is wrong, Sometimes life isn't worth while. I don't know why I feel this way, It just overpowers me and takes ahold. Feeling like a stray, Not a part of the precious fold. Sometimes I feel I'm falling apart, Hoping for brighter days. Dying inside from a broken heart, Not knowing any other way. Sometimes great is the pain, All I can do is pray. Tears trying to fall like rain, With no words to say. No one knows the battle inside, Someone else is who they see. My thoughts I try to hide, To be whatever they want me to be. They wouldn't understand the true me.
