Things I hide

Funny how I smile,

Even though nothing's going right,

Can't bring myself to open up to others,

Even though they mean so much to me,

Guess I just don't want to be a bother.

Never fully confided in anyone before,

Don't know what 'best friends' are for,

Are my problems big? I'm not sure,

But they affect me so much.

Because you don't even know,

How many times I tried,

Just because it was worth the fight.

Now, I'm tired of making the effort,

Because I'd always be the one getting hurt.

I'm not good at poetry, so I can't really help you with that kind of thing...but wow. I can relate to this so much. Its like...you want to tell someone what's going on, you want to scream it from a mountain top. Then, instead of talking about it, you just burry it because it seems like no one is going to care. Great poem, and keep writing!!

I met someone like this. Broken and exhausted, I refused to let them go on like that. I found them in a corner and forced them out. I hope you find someone that can force the effort that you once had back into you..
