Sorrow Behind a Pretty Smile





    

"Sorrow Behind a Pretty Smile"
 
O' Fear ,
 She keeps me bottled up inside
 At night in darkness is where I cry,
 All my thoughts & secrets kept where I lie, I hate myself for being so shy
They tell me be confident & hold my head up high,
So I smile and nod even though I know I'm living a lie
 
I'm tired of expectations with disappointment,  
So I keep my trust in God, my only enjoyment
       
O' Rejection,
 She haunts me everyday
I feel so timid so I act like I have nothing to say,
A girl with a big dream and a bigger heart
but yet she feels she has no way
 
O' Trust ,
Yes she is the meanest one
Hurt so many times I feel pain is love
Backstabbed, mistreated, by ones I cared for,
Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be here anymore
Lied to by friends and family too
This is why I hide behind the curtain I call the Truth
 
O' Insecurties
I have so many of these
Pretty on the outside but my inside filled with dis-ease
Compliments come but they mean nothing to her ,
She built a wall up so no one can enter
 
O ' depression
I end with you , hating myself and all my flaws too
Feeling alone, no one to talk to ,
Suicidal thoughts no one had a clue
Oblivious, blind, lost and abused
Time running out no chains being loosed ,
So she hides, she hides behind the curtain called the Truth
Searching for the exit to show herself to you .
