8th Grade Poems, To and From

my life is a lie-bella

my life is a lie;

but it's not yet safe to cry.

they put on a show,

but it's not my place to know.

I heard the words come out,

and now I am filled with doubt.

were they empty, meaningless,

or is it true, what I've witnessed?

my life is a lie;

but it's not yet safe to cry.

I have to listen still,

Though I'd prefer a sleeping pill.

it's late and I should be asleep,

not to stumble on what's happening.

ignorance is bliss they say,

so don't let me see the future or wake up today.

my life is a lie;

but it's not yet safe to cry.

perhaps it was a simple fight,

one of many silly strifes.

I hope and I pray,

that I may see the light of day,

and forget about the argument

that I hope was extortionate.
