Hiding behind a smile

No one knows the real me

 

Crying myself to sleep

Not knowing how much more I can take

No one cares to look

Behind my smile that is fake

 

I make sure everyone's ok

Checking up on them day and night

Just so they dont go through

The battle that I fight

 

No one should go through

The journey that I own

I put their happiness before mine

So they dont go through it alone

 

How much more can I really take

All I know is I just need a break

“The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I guess that means we're just products of whoever made us and we don't have much control. The thing is, when people use that phrase, they ignore the most critical part: the falling. Within the logic of that saying, the apple falls every single time. Not falling isn't an option. So, if the apple has to fall, the most important question in my mind is what happens to it upon hitting the ground? Does it touch down with barely a scratch? Or does it smash on impact? Two vastly different fates. When you think about it, who cares about its proximity to the tree or what type of tree spawned it? What really makes all the difference, then, is how we land.”

Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.

Look a little closer
and you'll see
the multitude
of my insecurities
shining through
the cracks in my smile
that I painted on
just for you

-a poem by me that I thought related.
