PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I want to seem strong in your eyes

My weakness hidden by a smile

You will never see my tears fall

Unless you are the pillow that I lay on at night

I pretend all the time

So ashamed to be myself

I fear that one day you will know me

And leave me behind

I would rather be alone

And patch up my own wounds

So you do not see them bleed

I do not want to be vulnerable 

So I refuse to fall in love

A lonely life is what I choose.
