Just here

by Dorothy   Sep 17, 2006


Everday I wake up
put on a brave face
and venture outside
I get asked a thousand times how I am
and I respond fine
but I want to cry out
that I am not fine
I am dieing inside
crying inside
just going through the motions each day
I am here but not totaly here
my mind is in another place
Its thinking about better days
when I could laugh
and not feel like i could cry
when I could smile
and not want to frown
When i could live
and not want to die
those days are over now
and I am still here
just waking up
and putting on a brave face
and just going through the motions again.

    I know exactly how true this is. i've felt it. you just put up a face so that everyone will think everything is fine. i wote a poem on a very simular topic... maybe even identical. you might check it out if you like. its called "Empty."

    i enjoy your writing, keep it up!

    This is very sad but so true. There are so many people who get up each day and do this same thing. Putting on a smile to hide the pain inside.
    Good job!
