By Myself I'll Stay
Noone wants to listen
So I close myself in
I hide what I feel
With the world at my heel
Always one step behind
My soul, they'll never find
It's hidden in a lock box
I'm gaurding it like fox
So please don't try to look
I'm afraid you'll be a crook
I wish that life would go away
Or that I could just runnaway
Sometimes I wish you would die
Or that I could just cry
I wish that life would be easier
This poem could'nt be cheasier
But this is how I feel
I'm trying to be real
I am an Actress
Paint a pretty picture
Evenly on your face
Wear a long sleeve shirt
To cover up the scrapes
Put on a pair of glasses
To camouflage the tears
Keep that smile plastered
To conceal all your fears
Pride is all you have
Is what I hear them say
So I convert your eyes
away fom my lies
I do this every single day
2 poems?
If this is intended to be two poems as the title suggests i preferd the second one "I am an actress", but they are both good. well done
