Fake Glow
September 16, 2014
I feel like a tragedy
The burden in my memory
Can I really be here?
I thought the end was near
When you see me
Do you really see me?
The me under that fake smile
The me always in denial
You've only seen the lie
But never when I've cried
You haven't seen the pain
Not even my shame
Is my pain that invisible?
You really can't see i'm crippled?
I guess you'll never know
I'll just continue to shine that fake glow

I just can't believe I live with people who are supposed to be family. And the can't see that i'm struggling. So I have decided to act happy.....hopefully I won't break.
