My Life's A Play

by nobody truly knows me   Apr 27, 2006


Brief happiness is torn away.
A few mean words cut through my soul,
Tearing me apart,
never to be whole again.
Emotions overwhelming me,
The pain so great I scream.
I scream in frustration,
Never allowed to show,
The depression settling in.
I'm an actress and my life's a play,
A play that never ends.
Smiles are forced,
My tears I keep back.
I cry only at night.
And each morning when I awake,
I start the act all over again.

    Maybe instead of telling us outright that it's a play that never ends just leave it to the final line to hold it together. It's really good and adds some depth to the words as many of us could probably see our lives as plays with different stages.

    Aww I go through this everyday!

    If it helps when Im at school I tell myself to stuff My emotions in a bottle and put them in a room where only the walls see/feel them.I know how it is like it's hard be careful.
