Lies by Me

June 30, 2018

I try not to be sad
I try to be glad
and smile
and laugh
and love

But in reality
I am not glad
just sad

Yet I try to smile
and laugh
and believe in the good

In reality
I cry
I slowly die
yet I say
"I'm Fine"

I try to make
the people
I care about
happy

I make others happy

even if
I am not

I try to support
the sad
the broken

even though
I'm sad
and broken

I tell others
to have hope
even though
I have none

I try to show others
they are loved
even though
I don't feel loved

But hey,
that's just me.

the girl who Doesn't know
who she is

but tries
to
be
sweet
