Hard

I act hard so you don’t see how soft I really am.

 

I suppress my anger cause I don’t get mad.

I choke back tears cause I don’t get sad.

 

I put on a smile and add happy to my eyes.

Behind the door I hide so no one hears my cries.

 

I laugh out loud and share my advice.

The truth is that I am not very wise.

 

I pretend to be content with who I’ve become.

When each day I wake up I just want to run.

 

Put back on my smile, my happy face.

Add my jolly giggle and lighten up the place.

 

Suppress all the anger, choke back the tears.

Replacing my youth with too many years.

oh you say so beautiful words,you never show anger but will will look so happy,hiding tears and anger away,such beautiful character i will never see ,yes we smile to the world tell them how happy we are how serene we feel while inside we are torn apart,but never show,too much anger inside and yet we tell how wonderful this world is but it never is ,but we still smile and dream again and again ,for only in dreams we live,and what we dream we show ,but whats inside we choke it there its no matter that we torment ourselves only to fool ourselves how wonderful this world is,wonderful writing as usual

I used to feel these ways once. But much comes from letting good thoughts and caring people bring positiveness in. It's so vital to let them help diminish the things you try to hide because we all identify with them. Give them a chance. Very worth it. Blessings.

I think we all do this some extent - however the ones who have been hurt the most get really good at hiding the softer side of themselves. Out of neccessity at first; then it becomes almost like a bad habit and we forget to ever let down the walls sometimes missing out on some special friendships. excellent write -

little grammar thing:

I pretend to be content with I've become. need something before "I've" - either "that" or "all" otherwise - perfect :-)

Haha :)) , I'm sure many can relate to this one.
I think a good title for it would have been ,,The curse of falsity,, with is unfortunately for us a necessity.
The ending is very good, and unexpected, just like any ill-fated conclusion�
