Photographs

So a picture holds a thousand words,
But listen to the stories heard.
"Oh, look at that girl, shes so perfect."
Having the memories isn't worth it.

I'm lying to others when i fake a smile,
Because the pain doesn't go away for awhile.
It just fades away and hides behind,
A massive amount of foolish lies.

I don't want to smile; i don't want to laugh,
I want to sit and reminisce on all the pain i have.
But by looking at my picture, you could never tell,
That I'm not always happy and i go through h.ell.

But as you can easily see when a camera is present,
I make sure that in no way am i hesitant.
To disguise all i feel with these sparkling brown eyes,
You don't really see me because you're mesmerized.
By this fake picture of this fake person who looks happy,
When really shes lost and lets out emotion by rapping.
