I walk through this world with a smile on my face
pretending I don't give a damn.
Where inside, my heart is bruised and wounded,
and no one knows who I really am.
They look in my eyes, but can't see my soul
yet no one seems to pay any mind to it.
I am waiting patiently to fall in love,
but it seems I'm always ten feet behind it.
I'm on a lonely journey to succeed in finding out
exactly what my life is about.
I'm a strong person at heart, and also in mind,
but now I'm trapped with no way out.
I look at this world and I can see its beauty,
but I do also notice a scary side.
At certain points in my life I acted so tough.
When I was alone, I sat there and cried.
I'm barely begining to see who I truly am,
and now I know, for sure, without a doubt,
I have a soft spot for people who I want to help,
and I am beautiful...Inside and out.
YES, you are beauty. I do read some of your poems.. Its' really nicer than mine haha I had same problems as you described in the poem too. I cannot face myself til now. If you forced me to put some words to describe myself. I rather give a chance for my friends to say it. Anyway, I have found my strengths finally. No matter it's a false illusion...i want love only. Thanks anyway.. see ya.. Hope can see more good poems from you soon.
I remember feeling the same. Now I realize I was a blank sheet waiting for the ink to pour..and it has! And its now my career/smile! Keep Writing Keep Informed Keep Peace Saphie
