Fake

by Jackie Marie   Dec 12, 2005


Deep inside I hurt
But on the outside I smile
You don't understand
Try being me for a while
If I told you that I am happy
And if I told you I never cry
That right there
Would be a straight up lie
The doctor noticed
He said I was under stress
And you didn't at all notice
That my life is one huge mess
A fake smile
That is what I wear
Look at my past, It's kind of scary
Look if you dare
Most of what you will see is pain
From all that I have lossed
From family to courage
It has all been tossed
This pain is so unbearable
I can't take this anymore
I miss being happy
My heart is just so sore
It is black and blue
And covered in tears
I want my old life back
Not one full of fears

*It is kind of rocky but I am trying to fix it up.*

    With all respect it is a bit rocky, but it has potential and it's already pretty good...Keep it up.

    Anoter very well written poem. I ask you to find bob shanks though, and read his poem "You don't understand" because think it will open your eyes a tad.

    This was an amazing poem, and i totally know how you feel. i feel like this all the time...i have one comment that will help your readers understand ur rhythem better...it'll make the flow easier..

    In poetry, there are things called pauses, or breaks. Most of the time, they're natural, when you read something, you pause. But most of the time, they happen when someone starts a new line, or they put punctuation at the end of a line.

    I think that if you start a new line, when you put in a punctuation mark, it'll help the reader understand where your pauses are...like this!

    Look at my past, It's kind of scary
    Look if you dare

    that would be like this

    Look at my past,
    It's kind of scary
    Look if you dare
