Poems For Life

Tears like Acid

The tears I cry are like acid,

They burn and sting my delicate skin,

I am now no longer pretty,

My face has been burnt,

People say I'm beautiful,

I never believe them,

They will lie to get what they want,

Even I do that sometimes,

I lie and say everythings fine,

Just to see a smile on their face,

I want people happy,

So I lie,

Just like the rest,

Because no one can see the scars in my head,

It's all to easy,

I have a wall,

A mask like the rest,

The entire world wears it,

It seems to be fetch,

Everyone wears it afraid that they won't fit in,

It's sad,

Behind every mask is a story to why its worn,

I cry because I am gifted,

I can see what's written on the back,

I can see through the wall they've built in their eye's to block people from seeing their heart,

I cry behind closed doors,

For everyone of them,

My tears are like acid,

My tears are a combination of all their fears,

They burn my cheeks and melt my eyes,

All they see are lies,

Buried deep inside,

I find the hidden truth,

Through my acidic tears,

Don't become me,

It burns like fire,

And can hurt like hell.
