I have lived so long behind a facade,
I have felt so much pain,
All of it for others gain,

Always make them laugh,
Even if it makes you look daft,
When will it end?
How much longer can I fend?

Today I just lay down and cry,
All my fake smiles seem to die,
Lord, why must this be?
Will there be no happiness for me? [comments] => 3 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Dereklankford [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

I just realized tonight the exact same thing.
I realized that my friends won't be there to catch me when I fall.
I'm on my own.
I know What you're going through.
Very well written poem.
Hope things turn out for the better.

don't try to impress others.
we are all self-intersted.
do what u really desire (appropriately)
and you will be impressed with yourself.
i hope that helped...

take care
