*Don't Ask Me

Please don't ask me to tell you
For the pain hurts me too much


This picture perfect girl
Has a less than perfect life...

Fighting with siblings
Solitude
Loss of friendships
Harsh words
Depression


The happy girl you see daily
Is not really me
You must look deeper
Past my well placed facade
Into the years of darkness I hide
Anorexia
Vicious thoughts
Unloving gestures
Confusion


This young woman
That you see before you
Is lost and confused
Not so happy and perfect
As you might expect


Please don't ask me to tell you
What's wrong

I find that penning my problems at the time helps me. I hope this works for you. Well written emotional piece.
