Hannah_a_03 - Hello Poetry

I used to always smile. I was always so happy. I loved life. I really did. I realized that people never liked me. Not one bit. They'd use me. They'd ask me for answers and favors. I was just a post to lean on when times got tough. I was never their "go-to" person. I was their last resort. I realized that I didn't like living like that. I cried. They asked me if I was okay. Not because they cared, but because it made them look good. I was a charity case. A thing that they could use to their advantage. "This isn't like you. Where's the girl I know?" How could they ask that? They didn't bother to learn a thing about me. A smile came back. Not mine, but one did. It was forced. No one could tell that it was. I used to smile until my face got sore. The smile was big enough to hide my true self. If you took one look at my eyes, You can see sadness, pain, and longing. They didn't bother. They were ashamed to talk to me anyway. The smile was forged, a fake made from gold. The next time you smile, think. Is it real or is it your cover?

Smile

I used to always smile. I was always so happy. I loved life. I really did. I realized that people never liked me. Not one bit. They'd use me. They'd ask me for answers and favors. I was just a post to lean on when times got tough. I was never their "go-to" person. I was their last resort. I realized that I didn't like living like that. I cried. They asked me if I was okay. Not because they cared, but because it made them look good. I was a charity case. A thing that they could use to their advantage. "This isn't like you. Where's the girl I know?"

I used to be so happy, cheerful, ignorant. Then, one fateful day, my world came crashing down. And in the rubble, the pieces of my shattered heart. I knew no one would accept me for my true self. So I wore a mask. It was a perfect mask, a remnant of my past self. No one could see past it. Not one person. I looked through my mask with pleading eyes, but people don't take another look at someone like me. I've run out of tears to cry, and now I finally see that I'm truly broken inside.

Broken

I used to be so happy, cheerful, ignorant. Then, one fateful day, my world came crashing down. And in the rubble, the pieces of my shattered heart. I knew no one would accept me for my true self.

If I had an inch I'd give you a mile If you were a frown I'd give you a thousand smiles I'd give you the world if you asked But all I want you to have is my heart I'll write you a song if that's what you want Then tear it all up if you don't I'll show you my mind and give you my heart Just promise you won't rip it apart I want to know how you are I want to know your heart and soul Your voice is a work of art I wish you could be mine to hold I never could move on from your eyes They'd haunt me wherever I go Quitting isn't always so bad When giving up on the impossible Honestly I'd be crazy not to love you Although the effect seems the same either way I have dreams of spending forever with you I wonder if you'd want to stay?

Take What You Want From Me and Be Happy

If I had an inch I'd give you a mile If you were a frown I'd give you a thousand smiles I'd give you the world if you asked But all I want you to have is my heart I'll write you a song if that's what you want Then tear it all up if you don't I'll show you my mind and give you my heart Just promise you won't rip it apart I want to know how you are I want to know your heart and soul Your voice is a work of art I wish you could be mine to hold I never could move on from your eyes They'd haunt me wherever I go Quitting isn't always so bad When giving up on the impossible Honestly I'd be crazy not to love you Although the effect seems the same either way I have dreams of spending forever with you I wonder if you'd want to stay?
