my poems

a lie

I am me

why don't you see 

Laughing with a smile

hurting all the while

The side I cannot show

I'm with you where you go

I have to be what they expect

I know you can't be perfect

So I hold back tears

I felt your pain through the years

I stay awake to stop the dreams

I heard silent screams

that haunt me on the path I set

Filled with pain and regret

where I'm kind where I'm good

it's all a falsehood

I will be what they ask

The person they know is a mask

I must be happy must not cry

you are the girl who is just a lie
