Actress

by K.B. - Aries

Around the people that I call my friends
I feel I’m at my worst
They laugh and talk like they haven’t cares
Yet I am bound and cursed

All smiles am I but dying inside
Thinking of things to come
What to say next or how to react
It makes my mind go numb

They see me happy as they are now
When the truth is so far from it
If only it didn’t hurt so bad
I’d have so much to admit

My smiles it will fade when they have gone
And ill resume my depression
They’ll never know how I really feel
I’ve bottled up my confession.

So much to say but no words come out
They’ve been hidden all to well
Far away deep beyond my heart
Things I will not soon tell

Now they think whatever they want
I’m a simple “happy” soul
They’ve been fooled once and I can do it again
Just as long as I play that role.

Reason for writing:

    All my friends think they know me so damn well but they don't. And I wish I could tell them half of the things that I think, but they wouldn't understand. They tell me to be open with my feelings and when I do try to they just tease me. Well now I'm some what of an "actress" because I'm always acting like I'm happy when they are around but really I wanna get the hell away from them.
