underneath

Underneath my smile
is a thousand lies
for everytime you see
a sparkle in my eyes
is a hundred tears i've cried

Underneath the mask
is a girl you'll never
understand

try and piece together the puzzle
put together the lies
but you'll never get inside

Hiding in the protective case
not wishing to come out
this story will keep on brewing
until the day it dies

A sad poem, makes me think of a beautiful orchard, with all the potential to bring happiness into the world, locked behind a vast wall, imprisoned, never to be it's true glorious self. Such a pity. You have a great way of portraying emotion, filling your reader with all the thoughts and feelings captured so beautifully in your writing. One would like to think that just like the trees in the orchard, your portfolio will grow. I hope it does, I look forward to viewing each leaf.

There are times where we feel the need to bottle
up our emotions because we feel like know will ever understand
the way we think and feel but we are wrong, because if we keep
putting up those walls then how can someone learn to understand us
if we don't let them in? Keep on writing,
let those emotions out even if its through paper. :D
Thanks for sharing

Best wishes

I have often felt the same way. As if I have to put up barriers and pretend everything is completely perfect when on the inside my world is crumbling and I could just sit down and bawl my eyes out. When these feeligs surface, find one person, be it friend or stranger (I don't suggest foe), to tell everything to. If it does happen to be a stranger, you never have to see that person again if you don't want to, and you get everything out. When emotions are bottled, they eventually explode.
