Portrayed Strength

by Innocent Fairy   Dec 12, 2011


I am not strong
it's just what I put on,
an act I'm so good at.

I don't know any
who can see through
thee act I do.

I can pretend
all I want
but when night falls
the tears fall as well.

The frowns
everlasting
smile so few,
an act I pursue.

I fake
when really,
deep down
there's sorrow
and pain.

Nothing to gain

No one sees
a heart broken girl,
all the hurt that she's felt.

They can't see past
her sweetness
and the kind hearted
person she is,
innocence to great
but she is delicate
and fragile too.

I am not strong
it's just what I put on,
an act I'm so good at.

I can pretend
all I want
but when night falls
the tears fall as well

For thee only person
I can't fool...
is myself.

    -Wrong there love. I can see through anything :)

    I love this poem. Saying you aren't who you come off to be. That you only want people to see you as this strong girl, when as soon as night time comes you slowly fall apart as tears pour out.

    This has sad emotion in it
    Love it hun
    5/5
