*Special note: Dear EVERYONE, I'm sorry I haven't replied to your recent poems or been posting lately, so I won't be surprised if you don't reply to this.  Again, I'm sorry*

Deep Inside

There's something
Deep inside of me
Deep deep down
There's things you don't know
Don't see
I've got it all
The grades, the guy
Things to do, people to call
Is that just the way it seems
I've no reason
To be unhappy
To be depressed
When my life's so perfect, so sappy
Little Miss Perfect
The overachiever, teacher's pet
Only child
Spoiled little brat
Oh the nerve
What could I be going through
In my perfect little world
Nothing like what you have to do
Things you don't know
Things you don't see
Things you've missed
Deep inside of me
How dare I cry
How dare I complain
My greatest worry
Is that my life might be mundane
How can you miss it
How can you be so blind as not to see
How is it you don't know
Deep inside of me
I shut you out
And don't let it show
Lock it up
Maybe you'll just never know

~This isn't directed to any one person.  It's simple really.  There's alot of things going on that I don't talk about and no one knows they're there, so they assume I have nothing wrong with my life.  Oh well right?  Go ahead, tear it apart, the original got deleted~

It's hard to keep things inside. I do that and I feel so fake towards the people I love cause they think I am happy and suff when deep inside I'm hurting so bad. It really hlps to write things down and stuff. Keep your head up!

No matter what you are going through, all you have to do is close your eyes and dream cause no one can take them away from you.

this is a nice poem
everyone feels this way at one point or another.
don't worry about responding to poems, just respond to the ones that you like, or feel strongly about, don't feel obligated to respond to poetry, do it from your heart.

  Hey there. It's very all right that you haven't been replying, most of us understand. I feel exactly like you described in this poem. And it bites. It seems like no one understands...sigh. Well keep pluggin away at solving all those problems....

I know what you mean by people thinking that you have the ''perfect life.'' No ones life is perfect, but somepeople just don't understand that everyone has rough spots and things that no one else knows about.  People are too judgemental to look behind someone's clothes or attitude and realize that they have problems too. I hope everything works out.

I think this poem was well expressed.  I know the feeling of having things that no one sees or knows about.  It' hard to share with people who don't care, but if you find someone who does, go ahead and open up   And hey, don't worry about replying, we all get busy or distracted sometimes.

I suppose I could reply to this two ways. First... I've been there, sort of. I've gotten the grades, went to the parties, been busy every Fri. and Sat. night with something to do and usually 10 people to do it with.   But I've felt empty nonetheless, and happiness like that just fades.
Second... I've been the shy one. The loner, the coward trying to rush through the day unnoticed. I see the popular ones, and I know they must be going through SOMETHING, just nothing that bad, if they look like they do all the time...(beautiful and smily)
So I can see your POV to a certain extent, but I also see the view on which you are picking apart. I really don't know which I prefer. Probably the happy, busy one... then you have less time to ponder and worry.  
It's a good poem, regardless.

Isabel~
You opened something from yourself that I have never seen...I have seen you open yourself up but not like this...I would think that people who have everything they want would be happy but not really...This was a really good piece...Thank you for sharing it...And take all the time you need away from this place...It doesnt matter if you dont always reply just dont leave us for good...You have talent that we like...So make it useful!!!
