another day of conformity
another day of nothingness
another day of ignorance
another day of pain
seems like noone understands
more likely noone cares
everyone is blind
even the ones you love
but what can you do about it?
it isn't like you let on
you don't come right out and say,
hey, i'm hurting and i don't know why....
another day of hiding out
another painted smile
another exciting day gone by
in the life of me
but, i'm happy
thats what you all think
i'm ok, not on the brink of losing controle
i'm still breathing, i must be alive....
It gets harder each day that goes by
feeling numb to everything except pain
pretending to be happy and excited
when you know that is what they expect
when and where do you break the news?
who can you trust with the truth that is you?
who is most likely to know what to do?
who can you tell when you wanna break free?
how do you do that when you are set in your ways?
how do you go about removing the mask?
for now we will just keep it the same
it seems to be working
aside from the pain
keep quiet and all will be fine
do not look up keep your head down
whatever you do don't look them in the eyes
they might see that tear about to roll down....
scream it, yell it, but only in your head
they won't understand, it's not worth the time
they will be confused, and call you insane
you are safe in your shell, don't break it...
now is not the time for this
put it away
give it more time to brew
hold everything in, and it will all be ok....
stretch the smile wider,
paint over it again
the brighter the paint
the more convincing the game...

i believe most poems are just in someways getting your frustrations out. this is defenitely one of those. ignore the fixing of it and just move on, get past the moment that you were trying to forget and create a new one.

Poetry to me is freedom of expression. You have expressed yourself so openly and so well. You will sadly find that alot will be able to relate to what you are going through.
Chin up friend, wishing you much joy and happiness always. Take care.
hugs n prayers,

Some poems are like stones that get worked in a tumbler. Others are semi-precious and are polished by craft. Still others are coveted by the diamond cutters of NY. I think of this as the latter as this is a poignant piece.
Good Job
Keep Pen Flowing
Peace

ah yes, my favourite line of the lot. Most of us conform to the image others expect of us, regardless of our declarations of individuality and the burdens this places on us. You captured the feeling of this well.

| This piece is great and reminds me how tightly we hide our selves inside. How deep we put our pain and mascarade with our smiles. A great job on this. |
