Crying on the inside, Smiling on the outside, Is like the sun shining bright, But the clouds are dark and grey. Letting the rain fall upon you, Joining the tears on your face, Laughing to the ones there, Pretending nothing is wrong. Screaming when alone in silence, Sleepless nights on an endless day, Partying with people around, Convincing yourself you are fine. Waking up to find your crying, To a dream you don't remember, Turning the frown into a grin, To face the world today. Miserable underneath the mask, Of emptiness you feel, Enjoying? the activities planned, Trying to find someone to understand. Hidden behind the face of happiness, Claiming to be alright, Secrets you hold in your heart, Locked; only one person has the key. Standing outside in the rain, While the tears stream down your face, Smiling to the sun shining bright, As the darkness turns slowly to day. |

We all have masks that we wear, and you describe the madness of the masquerade well. I also love the hopeful ending: " Smiling to the sun shining bright, As the darkness turns slowly to day" Keep up the great work!

Kimmy, Wooooow!!!!!! Escellent poem, I really loved it. It's so hard to hide all that pain we have inside, and this poem is a great way to describe it. I really loved this one, I hope to read another one as good as this one. Once again, great poem, your friend,  Caz It's been raining since you left me. |

It's hard holding in all the pain. I know all about this. Anyway the poem was great!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

This is exactly how im feeling right now except the clouds arent spreading to show me any light...just pitch blackness for me. My whole life story revolves around putting on a happy face when im like dead inside and i dont think theres much hope for that to end with me but i really hope there is with you..i know what your going through and i know how you feel..try to keep your head up tho...i hope things get better for you |
