Am I... pretty, funny, easy-going? I pretend I have no problems... Am I... Smart, optomistic, confident? It's just a plasic face I put on... Do I... hurt you, ignore you, slowly kill you inside? I'm sorry... Am I a good... friend, girlfriend, daughter? I hope so, it's all I've got... At night sometimes I... cry myself to sleep, regret my decisions, can't deal with the defining silence. This is how I feel when I'm alone... You see my... head held up high, eyes light up, radient smile. It's what I hide from your inquisitive eyes... You hear my... quick footsteps, joyous laugh, melodic voice. It's the cries for help I hide from your alert ears... You think I... have this perfect life, had a seamless childhood, am always this happy. That's everything but the truth... Just because... people think I'm pretty, I have many admirers, I must be a slut. Don't assume things about me... I have memories... of happy times, of times of sadness, and of my childhood bullies. Of all the horrors I have witnessed, I still survived, but scarred to the bone... I think it was a bad title for the poem, but I couldn't think of any thing better. "I'm not afraid of anything in this world, |

Oh Serena... Wow. This is my life. I don't know what to say. Oh wow. I'm putting this in my library, okay? Wow. I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers. |

This is a very well written if not very sad poem, I think the title fits the poem and all said and done it is a great poem *hugs* Andrew "The pin didn't drop it came and crashed down" |

Wow, thanx for the replies!! Yeah, sadly enough it's all true. Everyone goes through hardships, but I seemed to have the short end of the stick. Even my mom and sister agree, they say I'm had more than my share of bad luck. I'm glad I can express myself on here, and I can relate to all you ppl. |
