My Shell

by dollwithafrown   Jul 27, 2005


The tears in my eyes
The burning inside
But I wave and I smile
And I hold on to my pride

The heartache, the longing
The dreadfulness I hold
Is kept locked away inside me
And my story’s never told

My heart bears the scars
Of the people I miss
For each passing day
I long for a kiss

My head is filled
With the cries that I guard
And nobody knows
That my life is hard

Not every day though
I admit that is true
It’s only when I’m down and lonely
And I sit there feeling blue

It is my secret
One that I will not tell
And I will keep locked away
Alone in my shell

    Omg, it's uncanny how much i can relate to this poem! i don't have problems at home and stuff, i'm not some little problem child, but there are so many problems and things i have going on inside of me that i never let out. as i read this, i knew it was exactly how i feel and you conveyed it really well... wonderful! 5/5

    Wonderful. It has so much emotion in it and it’s also very realistic. It seems familiar to me. I like the rhythm, the story and especially the last sentence. Bravo! 5/5
