My Perfect Lie

by ...Wanna-be Poet...   Dec 15, 2005


My perfect life is all a lie,
A lie that no one sees through,
No one sees how every night I cry,
My depression is still a secret to all of you.

No one sees the cuts down my arm,
They only see the smile,
No one would guess that I self harm,
And it's all worth the while.

No one feels the pain I feel,
They only feel my happiness,
No one knows that my scars won't heal,
I guess I'm a good actress.

No one hears the screams I make,
They only hear the laughter,
No one knows that I wish I wasn't awake,
And that I won't live happily ever after.

You've all fallen for my perfect lie,
None of you realize I'm not okay,
When you find out you might ask why,
And I'm dreading that horrid day.
