Array ( [sid] => 103832 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Hiding Myself [time] => 2005-08-18 12:50:20 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Acting like everything is all right
Acting like all I see is the light
When in reality all I see is black
And I can’t seem to find the track
I’m smiling on the outside
But frowning on the inside
I look positive to you all
So you won’t see me when I fall
I don’t let anyone see the true me
Because if you did, you all would flee
So while you all see this grin,
I’m really struggling just to win
What you all see is really false
You don’t know of my pulse
Which starts beating real slow
Because I really just want to go
Don’t want to live anymore
Just want to give up the war
So what I show you all is a fake I
So you won’t know when I say, ‘bye
Just so you won’t have to see,
I am hiding the true me

Hey sprinter, there is only one thing worse than being candid, and that is not being candid. So say all of us. I think this is a very well expressed poem. Keep writing for it must indirectly offer up some therapeutic benefit. I know it does for me, even if it just makes me hurl the pen with rage across the room !

I agree, well expressed. You always seems to have a way to get your emotion across in very good detail. That's one reason why I love reading your poems. The mixture of emotions and the mind of the adolesence is always complicated. You show your emotions the best way I've seen.
Peace,
Agent Bones
