Thank God this Pillow Can't Speak...

by TinyDancer46   Sep 29, 2005


I go to school with a smile on my face
Seem so together, seem so in place
Walk to my locker and laugh with my friends
Nobody could guess that it's all just pretend...

The bell rings so I get to class
I laugh and talk as the hours pass
Before I know it, it's time to go home
Pretty soon I can be alone...

Mom asks how school was, I say " just fine!
But there's loads of homework the teacher assigned "
She nods her head and I walk upstairs
I think to myself...I'm almost there

I get to my room and I lock my door
Now I don't have to pretend anymore
I grab my pillow and begin to bawl
Shaking and crying as all the tears fall

They can't see that I'm not okay
So I lay there and cry for the rest of the day
Squeezing my pillow and falling apart
Feeling such pain inside of my heart

And I cry and cry till I fall asleep
It's one of those secrets I'm forced to keep
But tomorrow I'll act fine like I do everyday
Cause only my pillow knows I'm not okay

    WOW...I have no words...this has happened to me so many times...I just go home and cry my eyes out...scared to let everyone know how I feel. My pillow is very good with secrets. =) Well if this is true, I hope that you get over this tough time that you're going through...and if you ever need someone to talk to, I'll be here. Another inspiring piece...5/5
