You Don't Know Me

by Hey Brittknee   Apr 11, 2007


You don't know me on the inside.
Behind these sparkling eyes,
It's the real me hiding,
Behind a smile that tells lies.

A dead heart on the inside,
Broken by old love.
Lying, cheating boys,
Not much else to say of.

Hurting on the inside,
Crying every night.
Tears that put her to sleep,
Until the morning's light.

Darkened on the inside,
Watching as people stare,
They don't know what's going on,
It's more then she can bear.

Torn up on the inside,
On the outside there's still a smile.
This girl is gonna break,
But everyone's in denial.

Dead on the inside,
Hiding it so no one can see.
You may know my outside smile,
But you don't know me.

    I like your work. Use of words and rhyme are very good. I think if you work on your cadence it could be outstanding. I gave you a 5 because I think this poem speaks very well emotionally.

    I liked the how in each stanza you used 'inside' as the last word of the first line.
