Okay, so I found this in my computer. I decided to post it. (Wow, really?!) Tell me what you think, and thanks for reading! :)
****************************************************************************
So cold and alone
A heart made of stone
Walls put up for few to see.
A smile on my face
Put there to replace
The memories of a bitter past.
A girl forced to be strong
Given no choice but to play along.
All the emptiness
Comes rushing back at times
And when it shows
Few know
The pain behind the laughter.
The tears behind the smile.
Forced to be strong
Until it became my character.
Told so many lies.
Until even the truth was unbelievable.
So you can't blame me.
I've been through far too much
To see someone so oblivious
That they truly have that much self-pity.
Is that what you want?
Pity?
You're not getting it from me.
It's a cruel world out there.
Cold air, and bitter stares.
Just keep moving on.
You've got your life
And I've got mine.
I'm strong enough to know
Not to let my sorrow show
That's how they'll get you.
It's a bitter world.
But only if you let it be.
There's dazzling mountains
And shining seas.
All that could be a mirage
If you won't open your eyes.
Reality's waiting.
You have to face it.
