No im not okay.. Really.

by Girl of Conviction   Apr 6, 2012


You see me standing here,
tears falling down my face,
a girl so broken, so messed up,
a girl whos fallen from grace.
You ask me if im okay,
i'd tell you but its not like you really care anyway.
If you did do you really think i'd be in this much pain?
Hiding all my tears and sorrows,
in the pouring rain?
I wish you knew exactly how i feel,
then you'd know for sure
that my pain is real.
But you wont because im a girl
who hides behind her smile,
the girl whos always in denial.
You see, my parents see me,
but yet they dont,
they know im there ,
but what they dont know is the old me is gone,
she finally got tired of being strong for too long.
Thats how the story goes
about a girl nobody knows.
She'll tell you shes okay
when her worlds falling apart,
she'll smile through the pain
of having a broken heart.
When she cries, she lies,
just so nobody will know the truth,
just to keep every one happy,
when inside she's feeling crappy.
But the truth is no im not okay,
but what does it matter anyway?

    It's called pretending. Letting everybody
    believe we are fine, instead we are in so
    much agony. It's alright to let others know
    how we feel, often they take our strenght
    for granted, and it keeps going on

    The rhymes were beautiful here, you penned a very heartbreaking write......I can relate also to hiding behind a smile- it's easy to do. And we don't have to act strong enough, God will give us strength, there's nothing we can't do with Him by our side.

    A very personal and emotional poem- don't give up hope! It may seem like no one can understand the real you, your real identity, but never stop believing you are special and there is something inside you that makes you different than just a "somebody".

    Keep writing :)
    Also happy early Easter!

    'You see, my parents see me,
    but yet they dont,'
    These lines stood out for me. Parents SEEM to know their children, but sometimes they really don't..

    I love the flow of the rhymes, though you used simple rhymes. But how you used them made this poem really special. 5/5
