The girl behind the mask

No one can see behind the mask. 
To everyone I'm a fun loving girl.
To myself I'm a broken girl. 
I can't be fixed. 
I hide my true self behind my smile. 
I can't let anyone see the truth. 
My eyes can't even show the real me.
I can't save myself anymore. 
I hide the bruises from the world. 
Everyone would just point and laugh. 
It's a joke to think someone would care. 
I was stupid to trust anyone.
I'm battered, abused, shattered. 
I lost myself years ago. 
I don't know myself anymore. 
I just bring pain to this world. 
Would everyone be better if I was gone?
I can't help but think that. 
As I place the razor on my wrist I look into my eyes to search for the real me. 
I can't find her.
She disappeared. 
I see someone that is not me. 
Someone that holds many secrets. 
Someone the carries so much pain on her shoulders.
I can't live this way anymore. 
I can't live a lie. 
This pain I feel isn't worth living for. 
I just want peace and calmness. 
Is that too much to ask for? 
Can I ever fix my broken life? 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm very nervous about this poem. Once I started writing I couldn't stop. I know it's not nearly perfect.

I know it's not nearly perfect.

And just who are we to judge what perfect is ?And I know the nervous feeling's when it comes to letting things out to the world.knowing all to well how cruel the world can get. I found Myself thinking of eating a bullet back in darker times , but I couldn't drag that many people into my kind of Hell........I won't try to blow happy smoke rings up your skirt telling you it all get's better as you get older....but you can learn to live with it / the one thing I will tell you is.....If it's the way you truly feel dropkick it out here and the ones that don't like it ,Can Just live with It ! ~ DD ~ My writings Are My Therapy !


Every story-teller bends the myth to his own purpose. that's why a Hero has a thousand faces

Thanks. Your very right I'm just still not used to showing any of my writings. For along time it was just my secret world where I could vent.
