Collection of my poetry

Familiar Things

Someone once told me that anyone who's strong and smart could never end up in pain,

 but I see now that this is in fact is not true

and I believe I must open your eyes so you can look 

See I, am not saying this to get smart 

but the other day when that girl told you she was sad 

you didn't take it as something bad, but 

Can't you see the things I see 

she seems clean and healthy 

but her eyes tell otherwise when she feels like no one's watching 

she keeps thinking about food 

yeah she eats but something seems a little too familiar to me 

Being fit is all she cares

 she sees her body much more different than we do 

she diets, drowns down pills and keeps quiet 

she has confuse pain with living and living with dying 

lying to her self because she knows she feels like crying 

But at least thats all I see 

In reality I know that this cannot be 

That this idea is only a reflection of me 

So you see , pain is within even the smartest 

maybe that's why I smile the hardest.
