The Real Me
The real me
Is someone I don't let many see
Everyone thinks they know me so well
Because they don't know about the secrets I refuse to tell
They think my life is perfect all because of the stupid smile I force myself to wear
I guess they don't know about all those times I lived a total nightmare
I am not saying my life is that horrible
But let me tell you, neither is it very cheerful
Everyone seems to think my life is some walk in the park
I guess I could imagine my life like that but the park would be completely dark
No one seems to understand my family problems
Or why I really write these poems
But I can't expect anyone to understand
Because I don't even understand
My life is not as great nor simple as it appears
If it was I wouldn't be crying all these stupid, little tears
But what will you do to help me?
Yea, exactly,
Nothing
