Save Yourself


Look at my face, you'll see a beautiful girl. Look into my eyes, you'll see something hidden. Look at my smile, you'll see it isn't real. Look at my soul, it's the biggest pain you could ever feel... I may look perfectly assembled, but on the inside, I'm hurt more than ever. There's confidence I'll never get back and scars that are going to last forever. I've got plenty of secrets to hide, and I am hard to figure out. You think I'm always happy, but I don't even know who you're talking about. That "happy" girl just isn't me... It's all my act; can't you see?

I'm in my last year of high school, and I have been writing poems since I was in middle school. Most of my poetry are based on my experiences with life and my thoughts, and some are just experiences I've imagined. My goal with poetry is to let out my feelings, and also to make a difference or inspire somebody else.
