The mask I put on will not be broken
My smile will stand in front of my quivering lips
My bright eyes will stand in front of the tears running down my face
My open heart will stand in front of the armor that is covering it
I will laugh with others while I cry by myself later
I will stand with all of the confidence of a young women should while I fall by myself
If these people truly are my friends why must I put on a mask
Why can I not tell them things that are painful to me
Would they accept me if I told them

Why have I felt so much pain
Why does everyone continue to leave me
I tell them I am there for them and that I love them yet I continue to lose them
What have I done wrong
Why do they not love me enough to stay
I feel as though I am being beckoned to find a happier life among the dead
But how can I do that to the people around me
I say I love them but how can I go and leave them then
I must choose what is the most important thing to me
The people around me or the release of my pain

I have chosen to stand tall and smile as I break inside
I must say it will be alright and I am here for you
I will be the strong one and shoulder your pain
What would you choose

When you can stand I want you to fly
When you can whisper I want you to scream
When you can smile I want you to laugh
If there is something that you can be happy about be happy
Because if you don't smile when the great things happen how will you act when the bad things happen
You will brake and crumble with no where to turn
You  will cry by yourself
Therefore when you are happy be the happiest you can be because you never know when that will happen again

Why do we try so hard for a society that won't except us as we are
Why are we unable to love the people that we are now and are forced to strive for and unrealistic picture of ourselves
We have been taught wether it be on purpose or not, that we are not good enough
We must act like the people around us and fit in
We must be the best at everything and if we are not we are not good enough
Does anyone understand, truly understand the pain that we put each other through
I wish we could so everyone could be set free from the mold we are supposed to fit in
What we have to remember is that the only person we have to be better than is the person that we were yesterday

Why do we always feel that we have to change
When life gets hard we always tell ourselves to stay strong don't cry
But sometimes crying is the only thing you can do
And when people ask you if you're ok you say I am fine with tears in your eyes
Not wanting anyone to know that you are hurting so much

You call me just like you always have but this time is different
You say I am sorry and this in when I start running, don't you dare this is not fair
You say you will miss me, then you should stay
You tell me that we will see each other again
What are you doing why are you doing this to me
I am at your door and your brother opens the door
I run to your room to find your cold eyes looking at me
I scream and run to you
What have you done
I hold you tight in my arms sobbing while my mind rushes
you are gone
Why would you leave me alone
By doing this you have hurt both of us
Why must I live without you now

People always say that after the rain there is the sun
So now I am waiting, waiting for the sun to finally come out
I continue to wait but don't know how much longer I can go on like this
I feel as though I am being strangled by invisible hands and the longer I wait the tighter they get
Asking if I am ok, trying to save me with words of kindness
I am to far gone, but I am to scared to tell anyone
I tell myself I am not broken and I don't need to be fixed but the more I say this the more fear is put in my heart
