My smile
Who am I, you might wonder
My face is only a cover
My smiles are one that may make you ponder
For without them I won’t be able to hide
The sadness that I try to keep locked inside
But if you look closer into my eyes
You may discover my disguise
For I am not a girl with a jolly soul
I am one with a sadness so deep I can’t control
Alone I suffer by myself through the night
And when the sun rises, I pretend to be alright
I put up my fake smile and pretend to be ok
But only if they knew that though the lies I was going through so may things that I couldn’t even say
I Just wish to be out of this cage and be released from these chains
And the sadness, disappointment and anger that run through my veins
But I know that the end is near
For I shall leave my cage
And leave it with no fear
For freedom is all I crave...
About this poem
I wrote this poem when I was going through really bad things. It is a poem for those that can't show or bring out their real selves, it is a poem for those that are going through so much and no one around them realises that not even the ones closest to them, it is a poem for those that are going through so much pain that it is eating them alive and they cover it up by putting a smile on their face
