Reality takes me back

Contributed by LIving_In_My_Dream on Sunday, 20th March 2005 @ 07:26:06 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I wake up every morning
my pillow stained with tears
I cried myself to sleep last night
to wash away my fears

everyday i wear a smile
a mask upon my face
all these feelings and emotions
I wish I could erase

my eyes burn with the need to cry
but I continue strong
no one knows what I'm going through
and have been all along

they think that i am happy
they think that i am glad
no one knows the truth
the truth that i am sad

they buy into the laughter
they buy into my smile
no one sees the truth
which I've been hiding for a while

I'm crying in the shadows
and no one knows I'm here
no one looks beyond my act
or the way that i appear

i need to let my feelings out
but i cant break down the wall
its like a never ending battle
so for eternity i fall

with every gasping breath i take
i want my life to end
no one has a shoulder i can cry on
or a helping hand to lend

it's like the world is on my shoulders
like the pressures now on me
no one knows the way I'm feeling
no one can really see

i dream about a different life
where sadness is at lack
but soon its shattered by the truth
and reality takes me back

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
