If You Asked Me by:Elaine Cary
If you asked me how i was,id say everything was fine.
I would leave out the part where Id tell you that stress and sadness had taken over.
I wouldnt tell you how angry i was with my father for never appreciating me.
"Straight A's!" I told him,
but he was still mad that i hadnt joined a sport this year.
If you asked me what I've been up to, I'd tell you nothing at all.
I wouldnt bother to mention that i get up in the morning,
wondering what i could wear to help me fit in,
Or what i could eat so that id stay thin.
I would never how much i wished i was popular, pretty and perfect,
That i stayed up til all hours focusing on my flaws.
If you asked me what i was thinking about, I'd shrug and say,"not much."
But All the while id be wondering about many things.
Like why did my bus driver just die of cancer?
Why do i complain when i know i should only be thankful?
Why cant world peace ever be possible?
My questions will remain unanwered.
If you asked me how i felt,
I'd tell you i was feeling wonderful.
When secretly,
I was depressed.
I wouldnt share with you how many nights i stayed up listenening to my mom cry.
Was it my fault?
What did i do wrong?
So many things i keep from the world.
Suppose you were a stranger,
and asked me who i was.
Well, I'd start with, "Hi,Im Elaine."
