hi! post #3 for this book... hope you like it :) thanks for reading! sorry for the crappy title lol i didn't know what to call this one!
********************************
you aren't
like them
showy
flashy
bold
you are
quiet
sad
hidden
you're the
wallflower
at the party
after prom
you're the
third wheel
to your two
best friends
you're the
deep blue
of the ocean
at sunset
not so
bright
they like to
cry
about it
they like to
tell the world
that they
purged
yesterday
and that they're
in therapy
for scars long
faded
they like to
say that the
world
is ending
even though
they are
in love
they like to
make it
about
them
but not you
your screams are
silent
your tears are
soaked up
by your
trusty old
pillow
your fears
are unheard
your pain is
unseen
you are
not in love
and you like it
better
that way
because why does
everyone
need to know you
so
intimately?
but every so
often
as they cry to
the crowd
you wish
that just one person
knew
you wish
that one person knew
how deep
the hurt runs
how you make
self-deprecating
"jokes"
but you're not really
joking
how the only
way
you can let it out
is anonymously
through poetry
how
you fake smiles
better than
the best
of them
you aren't
like them
it's true
but perhaps
pain is not
meant
to be shared
and in
that case
you are doing
very very
well
