PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As the night falls I sit patiently staring at the ground

Watching the ball bounce all around

Nothing but silence into the night

As I sit and watch the ball roll out of sight

Nothing but constant thoughts running through my head

So many things that I wish I would have said

Why must I feel so torn between

Thoughts of the past and what I've seen

I no longer know who I really am

Or who I'm going to turn out to be

I just wish everyone would understand I can only be me

I feel like this little girl

Hiding behind this mask

Asking for acceptance

Is that too much to ask

Theres times I feel so numb

Like no one really cares

I try so hard to be myself

But all I get are stares

What have I done wrong in life

To get such horrid glares

I'm sorry I can't be who you want me to be

All I know is who I am

I just wish people acted like they cared

I wish they would give a damn

But who am I kidding to think that this would come true

People are so cruel in this world

There's only one thing left to do

Give up on the people who I thought loved me so

Get up off this ground

Get in my car and go

Drive to where ever life takes me

Away from this little bitty town

Maybe one day people will love me for who I truly am

Instead of putting me down

There's one thing a person should remember

When judging a person by their looks

Never look at the cover

Always open the book

A person is much more than a toy

If you care to understand them

You must learn to take the time to read the story
