Secrets

We all have them.

People see me as a happy person

but secretly I'm crying

they see me when I'm laughing

but not when I'm dying

no one knows what's going on

no one can really tell

it's hard to sleep at night

when all I want is to yell

yet I sit here and listen

about all their fun times

meanwhile I'm sitting here

wondering where is mine

I used to be a happy kid

now what have I become

when no knows the truth

how can I move on

I wish I could tell you

how I actually feel

I think about it day and night

until it becomes surreal

would they care if I were gone?

would they care if I were dead?

these are the constant thoughts,

that come into my head

I can't sleep at all at night

my mind is offbeat

the real question is,

will I admit defeat?

About the Creator

Hi. My Name is Dana and I am 18. I love writing. I mainly enjoy writing things that are emotionally strong and so I tend to lean more towards Poetry. I post most of my poems on Wattpad or instagram but I wanted to do more with it.
