The Girl Who Faked A Smile

24 5 3
                                    

And with a smile that could shatter your heart,
She said "I'm always ok, when am I not?"
The tears welled in her eyes, but she refused to stop smiling,
She put her headphones in and starting sobbing,
But as the tears racked her body she maintained the gut-wrenching, fake-happy exterior,
She just covered her cuts with makeup and skin-clearer.
She held on tightly for all that she had,
Laughing at the world when really she was mad,
She wanted to run away and hide from the troubles,
She wanted to hide herself in a person-proof bubble.
She knew she couldn't escape her fears,
She knew some people could see her tears.
She knew how painful the memories were,
She knew how some people could see the real her.
She eventually found her great escape-
Her ponzie scheme, her brand new fate.
She ran and hid from those who helped.
She slit her wrists and hung herself...

This poem was written over my winter break which has just ended, but I want anyone who does read this to know that I really do understand and I want you to talk to me. Write, sing, do anything as long as you are safe and healthy. I write with my emotions, I just don't post the dark ones until I feel better. For anyone that has even glanced at anything I have written, thank you. I have 10 stories that I slowly edit and write and the ones I do post are side stories or pre-written and revised just because I am trying to get used to sharing my work. There are so many people that could write a thousand times better than I ever could but truthfully I couldn't care less (no disrespect) because I do enjoy writing and I write when I have time or when I get an idea and become excited about it. So thank you, even if it's only like one or two people because this is my escape from reality and anybody that has taken the time to see it is amazing to me!
