True Thoughts

bah

Why does everyone keep calling me strong...
i never say what i actually mean or what my soul is screaming.
When I know they're so very wrong...
And i always hide what i'm truly dreaming. 
I cry almost every night...
my pillows have spots where you can see my tears from the night before.
Just wishing I could make things right...
And my eyes are always rimmed in red and so very sore.
Why do people seem to think I have it all together...
i barely turned seventeen and i can't even tell you about who i am.
When it couldn't be further from the truth...
And i can honestly say that i generally don't give a damn.
I doubt every thought I've ever had...
my heart and head battle out my future every single day.
Thinking that my honest wants are genuinely bad...
And thinking i should be able to yell whatever it is i want to say.

So incredibly full of truth and feelings that many of us know and avoid. You allowed all of us to breath and let go with this one! Bravo, Just Plain Me.

This quite a good, honest write... unless you didn't mean it? ; >) Do any of us truly have it together or are those of us who seem to, faking it in reality? Much to ponder on this one. Very thought provoking. Excellent piece.
