LIVING IN TODAY

All things familiar have slipped away,
I wonder why it has to be this way.
I've pretented I'm okay for so long,
that I can no longer be this strong.
I pray someone will see through this.
That someone will take my hand,
& won't just say they understand.
My life moves on tomorrow.
I will grin & ignore my sorrow.
Where my hurt can be disguised.
Will you see that I'm crying inside?
So sick of living this lie.
I'm a stranger even to myself now.
As I bottle it all up in me somehow.
I make myself so strong on the outside,
to conceal what I try desperatly to hide.
Fading into the background of life.
Yesterday, the past, is gone,
& I must keep it there,
behind me where it belongs.
Hoping for tomorrow & living in today!

I've been everybody else, now
I want to be something closer to myself!!

I know, its hard to be strong all the time. It's almost like you have to be someone else, to shut out the pain. I do understand. But please don't try any of those exits like you said before..And one last thing, you have a talent for writing, and in the end that will give you the chance to be you more than anything else in life, And trust me, a wonderful love will come along someday, probably several times, and you will be happy you stayed around for it.
Peace

you have a wonderful talent for writing...and sometimes life does knock you down...all you can do is keep your head up

if you don't like the message, don't kill the messenger.
