Name: Elizabeth this is where the hurting starts & the nightmare begins. the girl who always looks sad but claims she’s fine. & yet she still sits there smiling;; I know how it feels grave digger, when you dig my grave.. will you make it shallow, so that i can feel the rain Not even make up could make her she's just the typical teenage girl.. The girl who seemed unbreakable--broke Have you ever felt so alone and nothing makes sense? Well that's how I feel right now I feel like I'm facing everything by myself, with nothing but tears and a fake smile. I'm tired of being sad. I'm tired of crying. I'm tired of feeling empty inside. I'm tired of feeling worthless. I'm tired of feeling stuck. I'm tired of feeling crazy. I'm tired of being alone. I'm tired of yelling. I'm tired of pretending. I'm tired of dreaming of a life I will never have. I'm tired of missing things. I'm tired of missing people. I'm tired of remembering. I'm tired of wishing I could start all over. I'm tired of not being able to just let go. I'm tired of faking it. I'm tired of being different. I'm tired of being angry. I'm tired of needing help. I'm tired of always wondering when God is finally going to let me be happy. Most of all, I'm just I'm tired of being tired. The cracks in the concrete remind that no matter how strong you are, you will always fall apart at some point in your life. I can’t stand it when people ask me what’s wrong...cause in life...something is ALWAYS wrong. It’s like there's no need to ask anymore. But somehow...my friends just keep on asking. I guess that is a sign that they really do care about me...it just doesn't seem like it right now. Do you think its easy being me? Do you think its easy putting on the act that I do everyday? I smile when all I want to do is cry... I laugh when all I want to do is die.. I want to tell everyone how my world falls apart each night when I am laying in bed with tears in my eyes, pleading with god to help me. I want to let everyone know what it is like to be me, pretending to be happy... pretending to like myself, If it was up to me, I wouldn't be pretending, I would actually be happy... Too bad its not. Sometimes I feel like nobody has held me down and forced me to cry, or made me hug them, or seen the inside of me. I just say "Oh I'm fine" and walk away. Nobody's ever said to me "No, you're not” When you asked me what was wrong I said “nothing”……. After you left I whispered everything. If you look inside a girls heart, you'd see how much she really cries. You'll find secrets hidden, best friends and lies, but what you'll see the most is how hard it is to stay strong when nothings right and everything is wrong. just because her eyes don't tear she finally let go of her fake smile as the tears slowly rolled down her face as she whispered to herself "i don't wanna be me" Dont use excuses.. dont ask why Have you ever just sat there & thought.. start to breathe and fake a smile.. it's all the same after awhile. She smiles with all she has left Walk a mile in my shoes.. You’ll fall the first step Another poem, another line, another girl pretending she's fine, ~Believe~ I believe in mermaids, in fairies, in second chances, and I believe fairy dust can make u fly. I believe there is a place over the rainbow, where clouds are made of cotton candy. Where the grass bows and whispers. Where the flowers are everywhere and cover the world. Where there is no such thing as war, violence, and drugs. I believe~ A Broken Mirror, A Bleeding Fist "& she paints on that old fake smile & pretends everything is okay,pretends she never loved you & she doesn’t care, but in her mind she’s thinking 'if I could just have 1 more day I’d never let you go again' she looks down at her scared arm, 'love just isn’t worth it'" "I walked through the hallway holding my wrists, hoping no one will see me like this. He looks at me, scared what he'll find. He never thought I had these things in mind. He asks me, "...is there any more?" Looking at him with tears in my eyes I whisper a simple reply,...'ever wonder what bracelets were for'..?" |
