Can no one see this smile I'm faking,
See how, inside, I'm constantly shaking?
These people all claim they know me well,
Yet no one can see through my crumbling shell?
"I'm fine", I whisper, my sadness unknown,
They leave me to deal with this anguish alone.
I've hidden behind this wall most of my life,
I've managed so far, I've dealt with my strife.
Watching as, slowly, my blood leaks away,
It helps to keep life's true horrors at bay.
I pull down my sleeve to cover my hurt,
For approaching footsteps, I'm on the alert.
I guess my pretense is just all too real,
No one has to know of the pain that I feel.
The real me inside, where no one can see,
I can fool everyone else, why can't I fool me?
A Nation's Strength
What makes a nation's pillars high
New Love True Love
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
To My Treasured Friend
Though there is gold up in the mountains,
Special True Friend
It has meant so much
When You Went Away
when you went away my world turned cold and gray.
King For A Day
I'm resting here quite regally,
A Daschund Dog
My dog has a special twist,
Life's Own Battle
Didn't want a battle,
A Broken Heart
How do I mend a broken heart?
Am Yours..
I'd give all I have to stay yours,
