I Laugh And Smile, But I'm Not Okay

by Kristina   Oct 24, 2006


You see me laugh,
And assume that I don't cry,
Because I hide my tears away,
Cause I don't want you to see.

I put a smile on my face,
Pretend that I'm happy,
But you don't look hard enough,
To notice I'm really not.

You ask me "whats wrong?"
I reply "nothing, I'm okay."
You believe me and walk away.
How can you not see that I'm not?

Just because I laugh doesn't mean I don't cry.
Just because I smile doesn't mean I'm happy.
Just because I say I'm okay doesn't mean I am.

    This life it self is about pretending, we always have to pretend, pretend everything is ok smile with each other while we hide the drops of tears,
    I can relate to this poem as most of the time i have to hide my tears and show a fake smile to make others happy.

    great write 5/5

    Hey. Honestly, I think this poem is done sooo much, because it seems that so many people do the same thing and hide within fake emotion. However, with that being said, I have made a few of my own and probably will make some more (I write to rant); the only difference between yours and everyone elses- including my own- is that yours didn't drag on So much that I decided to stop reading. There wasn't any plain repitition to make it laggish and boring, you re-worded things to get your point out, and for that I say...Well Done!!!
