The tears flow down And they hit the ground, She cries in dark places Where she cannot be found. Those eyes tell a story Of anger, fear, and pain You think that she is happy But just look again. And the scars and cracks of the past Lay hidden under her skin to last “Her smile is now painted She’s a master of disguise” You can find it all Just look in her eyes.
Do you ever have the feeling like you can't tell anyone how you feel? Through all that time listening to other people's problems I was struggling with stuff too but there wasn't really anyone I could go to. If there was I either didn't find time to let it all out or I just didn't trust anyone to be vulnerable too. There point in time where everything I bottled up needed to be led out. Faking being happy or content isn't good. You hide everything and you don't let people in. After I wrote this poem it helped me open up, be the person I wanted to be. It's also helped some friends I have to do the same. We are all in this world together, might as well love everyone even if it's not deserved. I hope this poem can help you as it did me and my friends. All the best, Emma Burney
