All smiles through the day
Then the tears come at night,
Thoughts of dying become plentiful
Even though I know it's not right.

No one knows what it's like
To have to live like this,
No one knows what I've been through
As I sit here and reminisce.


I remember the days of young
When I didn't have a care,
But once I reached the "teen years"
I didn't think I'd fare.

They all thought I was cool
But how could they know? They couldn't see,
That they were friends with someone else
And that someone else wasn't me.

I kept trying to form myself
Based on people I'm around,
I wanted to become someone neat,
Someone who they would surround.

But until that day I let myself out
I will continue to cry at night,
Knowing that I shouldn't stay like this
Knowing that it's not right.

Why do you do what u do to me baby...you know if I could I'd do anything for you, please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you

I agree with Regina...cliques aren't a part of reality.  I hope you can work on your true self through your writing!  

so when at times the mob is swayed to carry praise or blame too far, we may choose something like a star

I liked it....thought you did well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I second Ina --- down with the cliques
well, I was part of one though years ago
but hope you look at life as more than just that
I know it's important right now, but you'll see
hope things get better
