Thoughts as Poetry

You Don't Know

I'm the sorta person

Who cries herself to sleep

You'd never guess I'm sad

I smile so I must be

Fine.

I'm stuck in a dream

Of how it ought to be,

You'd never think I'm broken

I smile so I must be

Fine.

I'm afraid to die,

I'm scared I'll get put in Hell,

You'd never think I'm a coward,

I smirk so I must be

Brave.

I'm wanting a hand to hold,

The night's too dark to bare,

You'd never think I'm daunted,

I smirk so I must be

Brave.

I'm lost in thoughts,

Words I'll never say,

You'd never think I'm lost,

I'm still here so I must be

Secure.

I'm drifting away,

Past life's shores,

You'd never think I'm drowning,

I'm still here so I must be

Secure.

You're all wrong,

You can't see through

The paper thin

Smile.

I'm not

Fine

I'm

Hurting

You're all wrong,

You don't know the fear,

In the defying

Smirk.

I'm not

Brave

I'm

Terrified.

You're all wrong,

You don't know the hesitation

In the determined

Actions.

I'm not

Secure

I'm

Drifting.

I'm lost.

I'm gone.

I'm slipping away.

Farewell.

Farewell.

You can't see my

pain.
