is called a frown
but posing as a clown
doesnt work with a frown

so i laugh and i smile
and i joke and i play
i make others believe
im having a great day

but inside im frowning
im crying you see
outside ive "healed"
but inside i bleed

i dont talk about it
i dont even try
i dont want people to watch
while i sit and i cry

i cry when im alone
locked in my room
so i dont bring others down
to my level of gloom

i know i dont want to die
everyone who really knows me would agree
so for today i live
as for tomorrow... we'll see

Twinky, this is such a beautiful poem. I really touch in a place noone that know me never sees. For most of my life I lived behind a veil of make-up consisting of fake smiles and false eyes showing happiness. Worried of bringing down my friends and family members level of joy, so i hide behind this character day after day. I became very good at this act that someone my two selves I could never tell apart, and all at once two become one. At times even now I can't tell who I am. Never hide behind your veil to long, because even within yourself you can lose who you are atalented and beautiful poet. Awesome poem and sorry fo babbling.

This was really good and I can totally relate to what you describe in this poem.

outside ive "healed"
but inside i bleed
I loved those two lines. Keep yer chin up.

Twinky - I love your style and this is a great poem - full of real feelings - but like Goose - said don't hide your real feelings.
You have a right to feel them and if that bothers other people that's their problem not yours

un beso
