Inside I'm dying,
But I'll keep on smiling.
So you never have to see,
Just how pathetic I have come to be.

Where I was once opinionated,
I'm feeling so alienated.
All my hopes and dreams were destroyed,
Now all I have left is this endless void.

I try hard not to cry,
Don't like explaining why.
So I smile and laugh like all the other girls,
Even when I'm losing everything I love in this world.

So as I hide my scars from view,
I'll try to be okay for you.
I'll pretend for you until it kills me,
Just so you can have me the way you want me to be.

No broken heart or shattered mind,
No past left behind.
Just an empty vessel,
Smiling despite my personal Hell.

I'm spending all my time pretending to be okay for everyone, I've forgotten what it was like to actually be myself. But I would do it all over again. I would rather die on the inside than make anyone uncomfortable by watching me cry.

It's like one step forward and two steps back,
No matter what I do you're always mad.

Tara, I hope you aren't pretending for me, because personally... I think you smiling and laughing "being like all the other girls" is fake... And may I remind you in one poem you wrote "At least I know I was real through it all". Pretend for someone else because we both know I see through it, after all how many times have I already? I'm sure I don't all the time, but more than most. I care too much about you for you to be pretending to be alright, it doesn't fool me. I luv you and it kills me when you fake happy, because it means you're too sad to express it.

The poem is very good and it reminds me a lot of times in my life, that I wish weren't a part of yours. It's very well written and I like the rhymes you used a lot. Apparently other people like it a lot seeing as how it already has two favorites. About to be three. I love the poem, hate that you are feeling like that.

I just don't like making people pity me. I don't want their pity. And yes, it is fake. And when I wrote that, my life wasn't nearly as screwed up. Yeah, I know, pathetic of me. I know you see through it, you almost always do. And you may not want me to, but there are more people than I want to admit that prefer me like this. At least if I fake being happy they don't have to try and feel guilty. I don't know how to express my feelings.. never have.

I'm glad you like it though. And I hate that it reminds you of times in your life. Shit, Paige... We're only 14... we shouldn't have to deal with crap like this...

I don't pity you, I help you. Hide from who you will, but not me.

And Tara, have you looked at most 14 yr olds lately? We aren't like them, but most of them have gone through enough stuff to be like this, it's whether they pay attention to it that determines how they act.

Very well. I wont.

It shouldn't be like that... And how can someone not pay attention?? When things are going to Hell around them...

Thank you.

It's not so much not paying attention as it is hiding from it, but they just have to go through it at a later point in life, personally, I'd rather get it over with now like we are lol.
