How many times have you told someone you're fine, When all you really wanted was to break down and cry? How many days did you wake up and put on a fake smile, Just so you wouldn't have to explain what was wrong? How often did you have to try and choke back your tears, Just so everyone wouldn't see you cry? Sometimes I think it's just too easy to shut out the rest of the world. Sometimes it's so much simpler to pretend everything's alright on the outside, but you're really dying on the inside. Sometimes being cold-hearted is better than wearing your heart on your sleeve. So many things go left unsaid, So many feelings left unheard. Why does everyone seem to think they need to bottle up their pain? Why do they think that it's so much better to allow no one in? How have we all become so weak, that we have to lie to cover up what we really feel? I guess sooner or later we think everyone will give up. They'll quit trying to understand what's going on inside our heads. Never judge a book by it's cover, For you will never truly know the story inside, Until you take the time to read it. As I smile at everyone else, I'm dying inside... ~Me |

You read this to me before and I told you what I thought but I figured I would reply anyway. This was excellent! I really like this one. I find this poem to be inspiring yet it made me feel desperate. Two totally different feelings into one. Great job! I LOVE it. ~Jess  "At the touch of love, everything becomes a poem." -Plato |

i hide my feelings of depression and everything because i am afraid to let people in because all people ever do is hurt me. so you can say past experiences have made it impossible for me to share my feelings with anyone. "i am in troble but no one knows it if you can figure out my messages then help me. |

The point you made was good, I'm all for the message. I don't really favor how you conveyed it... the writing wasn't spectacular... but it was a good thought. ~cassi |
