She smiles, therefore she is happy,
They don’t see the cuts on my leg, the silent cries.
She listens, we can tell her our problems,
Some people just need help, like me.

She dreams, and she believes in them,
I’ll never make it, I know I won’t.
She laughs, she never cries,
Some people never notice the mask.

Her family - she loves them,
I hate my sister, she embarrassed me, as for the others - I love them.
Her family is supportive - they love her,
My family thinks I’m dumb – and tells me so.

She lives the perfect life – no worries,
I found out my sister poses in the nude - through my friends - I want to die - every day.
She’ll be happy forever,
All I see ahead is sorrow.

holy cow. are you writing about my life?! heh. it's a great poem, very sad, very real. lots of unhappy truth to it.
my fave part:
"Her family - she loves them,
I hate my sister, she embarrassed me, as for the others - I love them.
Her family is supportive - they love her,
My family thinks I’m dumb – and tells me so."
fits my family and me perfectly. sad, eh? *wink*

This also felt as though you were speaking for me. Excellent method of venting you have here. Keep it up and keep posting it! Divine.

Pain, pain go away
Let me smile for just one day
And if that day I never see
Let my blood run cold and free

I stumbled upon this tonite, and I'm glad I did. This is my life, almost to the T. It's slightly comforting to know I'm not the only one with a mask on.

Good work!

Very beutiful and well composed. It's my life, how did you do that!

It's something a lot of people can relate to, even if it ids not to your particular words because it has a general feel to.
