Real Me

Folder: 
Pain and Sorrow

People think I'm happy

That I live without a care

But people don't see the side of me

Riddled with despair



I'm lonely and I'm tired

All I want to do is smile

I want to be truly happy

If only for a little while



My wounds are deep

They'll never heal

And sometimes I worry

That these nightmares I have are real



My problems are my own

I'll keep them bottled up

I'll listen to all my friends

Mine aren't important enough



So I'll give you my ear

Say what you will say

And I'll put my smile right back on

Just for one more day

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this during Math class one day. And to tell you the truth, it couldn't be more true. I will always push my problems aside and help my friends with theirs. Mine don't need to be bothered with. As long as my friends are happy, then I am content.

Kaleigh dont push yourself aside. Your problems are important. Deal with your problems first then if you want you can still help us deal with ours.
