It Starts with a Smile

I tell you I'm happy.

I tell you I'm fine.

I'm breaking inside; deep down I'm crying.

I'm lying can't you see, there's so much pain inside me.

The love in my heart is turning to hate.

All my smiles are starting to fade.

Can't you tell they're all so fake?

I hate my life today.

I hate all this shame.

I hate the one I love, for I love him to much.

Why can't you see all the emptiness inside me!

Can you see the tears filling in my eyes and the scars I try to hide?

Lets not get into details. I'm 25, been writing since I can remember, but I just started to publish. I kinda feel exposed, but oh well.  View profile

    we must have something in common. I feel like I could have written that myself... same feelings. You are a really great poet.
