Tired

Sick of crying
Tired or trying
Yeah I'm Smiling
But inside I'm
Dying

But faking a smile
Is so much easier
Then explain
Why I'm sad

Yes I am hiding
What I'm feeling
But I'm tired
Of holding
This inside
My head

I wish someone could
Actually tell that I'm
Faking a smile and
That I'm not okay
Even though I claimed
I were then give me
A hug and stay no
Matter how much
I say I'd be fine alone

Those are definitely the most complicated feelings, where you at the same time do not want to burden others with your sorrows yet want to scream in pain and beg . for comfort. It is sad how few people are perceptive enough to see through the fake smiles

your poems always leave me speechless because your writing is so real, so brutally honest that it really touches my heart. Tons of hugs. Great job ~

Hi, great poem, sad content, really well-written, your work gets better all the time!

[Laura Harrison]

I admire how you don't hold anything back in your writing, you aren't afraid to show your emotions. Once again, this is a deep and poignant piece, great job :)

[Trevor Barnett]

Very emotional write. Sometimes we find ourselves in a place where our outside appearance is not a reflection of what's happening on the inside. A very well written poem!

This is sad... :-(( We all feel this from time to time but you know what? You have a whole family here at the cafe who want you be happy and will do anything to make you happy. :-))

Aw thanks that made me smile right there

Hi Broken... I think we all feel this way from time to time. No matter who you stand with, you are still alone in your head. It changes when you share what you think. Now we are all a little closer to you.

Thanks let's just say I have a very traumatizing past and my work is my catharsis its how I express my feeling my personal favorite is "save me"

[Sue Hart]

Very touching. You are right. Loneliness does touch you that way. The fake smile showing such mixed emotions. Thank you for posting it.

Thank you for the nice review

I love this it does hurt the pain and the way you feel but nobody else understands or you cant explain it. Even though it hurts try and live for what you have not what you had or what you wish you had!
