Poems

I can recall a poem when I was younger that has always made me feel like it was just about me and how I felt. I cannot seem to find the poem anymore...so here is my attempt at a poem about me and how I REALLY feel.

WALLS

There is a smile upon her face,
as she lives her life so full of grace.
Her laughter sincere,
she has no fear.

Her life is full and happy too;
sometimes I want to be just like you.
She has so many friends;
and a hand to lend.

But no one knows the truth she feels;
her insides are broken and need to heal.
She has a wall built up so high;
her laughter and smiles are mostly a lie.

She's drowning alone;
and nothing feels like home.
No matter how hard she tries;
most nights she lays there and cries.

So why is it that her smiles are fake;
is this the life she wants to take.
How can she put on that smile everyday;
when inside she feels herself drift away.

So when you see that little smile;
think about her for awhile.
Does she need you? Do you know?
She's drowning inside; with no where to go.
