GREAT PRETENDER

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

My smile hides my tears.
My laugh hides my screams.
It's been this way for years.
Things aren't as they seem.

I always seem so happy.
With not a care in the world.
But you should know sadly,
Many things go untold.

Nobody really knows me.
They only know my cover.
But I wish I could let it free.
Let them know what's under.

But instead I practice
My smiles in the mirror.
Then the next thing I do is
Make my fake laugh clearer.

What is wrong? You need help?
Is all they will ask.
So I have decided
To live behind a mask.

Hope you like it!!!!!:-)

Thank u

very nicely done, @athenabree08 but change your tags - use 5 - try these:
poetry poem verse writing life ....or love....or relationships. Your country of origin has nothing to do with this post. And by the way, when you commented on my post, you asked me to check out your stuff and upvote you. That's not done on steemit - It's very bad etiquette. Your account is filled with good stuff - you don't need to do that. Good luck with your writing on here :)

Thank you! It really means a lot.. Now i know. :-)

you're welcome, @athenabree08
