"My Secret"

by savigirl14

When I walk in the room

Everybody turns away

I might as well dig my own tomb

Nobody cares about what I have to say

 

I blend in with the crowd

They don't see more than meets the eye

They're too cruel to speak their thoughts aloud

But they think everything I have said is a lie

 

There is a burden in my heart

It burns a hole that cannot be fixed

People never know what to stay and how to start

 

The smile they see before them

It's a lie for my secret life

Do they not care that my life is full to the brim?

It's full of cuts, not eating and pure strife

I am a very creative person. I love to read, write, sing, dance and act. Poetry to me is a way of self expression that lightens someone's heart. I love white chocolate and my favorite book is Anne of Green Gables
