My Last True Words

by Barbara   Oct 8, 2006


So tired of smiling on the outside.
But feeling so broken and unsure all the time.
I refuse to let anyone be burdened with my problems.
But it's so hard to pretend I'm fine.

Smiling to everyone I know all day.
Crying myself to sleep at night.
Please let me feel happiness again.
Let me know things will be alright.

I do care deeply about how others feel.
But within that is where the problem lies.
I get more down when I fail to fix their problem.
Then putting on that fake disguise.

Tell when things become happy again.
Show me when the gray clouds slowly fade.
Touch my heart when this burden lifts.
Until then, these are the last true words I will say.
