a perfect lie
a perfect lie is what i live in
while at school i act as if I'm okay
but what they don't know is that it is a lie
depressed and stressed is how i am
people think i have it easy
they have thought wrong
unless it changes the lie will eat me alive
a perfect lie
what a lie that is
more like torture
people don't realize how bad my life is
they don't care, no one cares
my perfect lie is only true a little bit of the time
all the rest of the time i am sad and unhappy
just waiting for that little bit of happiness that will never come
i will always be looking for the shadows in the darkness of the lie
i will only be truly happy when the lie ends
but when will that be
when will i be happy
when will it be all right

I like this poem. It makes me think of when I was going through a tough time trying to deal with past life memories, which isn't all that easy. And, the way the poem is, that's the way I was feeling. Like, I would say I'm fine or I'm okay when I really wasn't. Anyway, good write. I liked this poem a lot.
