In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on. -Robert Frost


You look at me and think that I am sleeping
Come check feel my pulse… am I still breathing?
You don’t really know what’s going on inside of me
You think you do but you don’t
You can’t see the hurt, the pain I feel inside
You weren’t there all those nights I cried myself to sleep
It’s funny how much a smile can hide
On the out side all you see is a bright happy teenager
But if you were to look inside my eyes
You’d uncover a tangled web of lies
And you’d really know how I feel inside
But you won’t ever look inside my eyes....
Because that is what a smile can hide

The author's comments:
I wrote this because it felt that to many people thought my life was perfect and esay. This was my way of letting other people know that not all things are as they seem to be. You can smile all you want but that does not mean that you are really happy.
