The Pain In My Eyes

by Jess   Nov 21, 2011


They say I'm the strongest girl they know,

Nobody knows who I am, or what I've been through.

Not one person knows, I cry myself to sleep.

So I would have to kindly disagree.

I look strong, I come off brave.

I hold my head high, when I just want to cry.

Nobody can see the pain in my eyes.

I guess I'm just use to pretending.

I don't know who I am anymore.

I'm so use to being the girl everyone see's.

Truth is, I just want someone to love me.

It's harder than it looks being alone at seventeen.

I'm going to be somebody, god has a plan.

Maybe one day, the world will understand.

    Some people can't see past a front either because they can't see past their own problems or because they are scared too look to deeper at the ones they love. Your poem really speaks to the heart of the reader and gets them emotional

    5/5
