Author's Note

I spent alot of time on this poem. It describes me in the past. I hope people can relate to it, and to them I want to say "I understand what you're going through". The poem is to everybody who  have to meet very high expectations, but have to bottle up all the war going on inside. Enjoy!

I have often tried,

to tell you how many times I've cried.

I never had a best friend,

to be with me 'till the end.

You have high expectations,

but my talent has limitations.

always wake up in the dark of night,

and try to fight,

the endless nightmares, horror and fright.

Every single smile is fake,

and it's like everything I do is a mistake.

I've tried to leave this world,

but I'm a coward.

I'm confused and scared,

and unprepared.

Of course I love you,

and I know you do too.

That's what keeps me alive,

though it stings my heart like a beehive.

Every day I feel ugly,

and unworthy.

I could be a Hollywood actress,

because even if I'm in distress,

I always laugh and smile,

and run that extra mile.

Now you know,

the truth I've been dying to show.
