You pretend you’re alright,
laugh when you’re sad,
hide your true feelings;
never show if you’re mad.
Keep to yourself
does no good to fight,
simply try your best
to stay out of sight.

Here in this world
of black and white
you just don’t fit
so you live in the night;
hide your color
in a heart so deep
and dream of rainbows
in your sleep.

But deep inside
a greater light shines
through pain and sorrow,
space and time.
There’s red and green,
yellow and blue,
pink and orange
and yes, purple too.
A lasting assurance
that beyond the fears
you’re not alone
with all those tears.
You are seen and loved,
this you know;
the rainbow’s there
to tell you so.

But it’s hard in your dark reality
in the world of black and white,
no one appreciates the color purple
until they see you there in the light.
To be honest I'm hurt the way how you treat me like I'm nobody like we never had a friendship or something a relationship
Rasha Joie C May 2011
he never understands the beat of her heart
calling for passion and trust from someone
she never gives respect to herself and to a friend
just to catch his attention, she'll do everything 'till the end
he watches her closely from night 'till dawn
she pretends not to hear the gossip of all
they denied to themselves the truth of their feelings
they hide the eyes that's full of pretending
with their pure hearts they bid Good bye!
because nobody wants to start a new life

sticks and stones
can break my bones
words like swords
hurt me the most
but
i like to
pretend they don't

It's not about you, it never was.

It doesn't matter how cheap you're selling hugs.

You're still selling them.

And you can't buy love.

I wish I believed in magic again
We all did way back when
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it

Anxiety you used me.

You held me as a prisoner in my head.
You held me hostage.
You made me treat my friends awful so I’ve got nobody now.
You dragged me around making me feel worthless.

You made my life a living hell and I assumed that if pretended everything was fine for long enough then maybe....just maybe I would begin to believe it.

But It’s getting to the point where I don't even like what I see in the mirror.

All I see is a ghost staring back at me with empty eyes.
All I see is the hurt in my smile.
All I see is the mess I am.

I am a problem that can’t be fixed.
I am what’s wrong.

And I will always be what's wrong...

I want to cry
But its too late
Light will arrive soon
My mind will be astray
I won't be able to smile right
They might turn me away
But if I dream tonight
Maybe just for an hour
I could pretend
That everything will be okay
Everything is ok, okay?,
Find a new wardrobe

Hide my old face

Take time out of my schedule

To find my new place

Maybe I’m still full of life

Full of hope and out of time

I’ll make me,

Take me,

Fake me better

And I’ll do it all for you

You
Before I wake up and forget
I want to say something.
I thought I saw you last night;
Last night in a dream.

But you’re gone, and I know it.
I’ll forget you soon enough.
It’s just hard, everyday,
Acting happy and full of love.

In my dream I realized something;
How amazing you truly were.
I should’ve kept you close
To keep the future I prefer.

But what’s done is done and now you’re gone.
It’s not supposed to be this sad.
But maybe in my dream tonight
I’ll see you again at last.
