PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am smiling on the outside

but inside I am falling apart

I hurt so badly that

there are scars on my heart

I act like I am fine

while my soul is dying

so when I tell you I am okay

remember I am lying

I am holding everything in

no one suspects a thing at all

no one knows that I am crying

or that I have a desire to bang my head into a wall

no one knows that the only one to catch my tears

is the pillow on which I sleep

no one knows that deep inside 

there are so many secrets I keep

when I pass you on the street

I smile and say I am doing good

so that you don't know

that I feel so misunderstood

doesn't anyone see the pain

if they look into my eyes

and when they open my heart up

do they see my disguise

you hurt me in ways

I can't even describe

so while you are laughing

I am dying inside
