I am torn inside
torn between who I am and who I pretend to be
at school I am happy
or at least that's what I lead them to believe
I smile and laugh
just like any other person would
I have no flaws,
where they are concerned
but the real me
the me inside of this shell
cries real tears and bleeds real blood
I get angry and I get jealous
Sometimes I longed to show you
then he waled in
and I realized
that people could love me for me
the good with the bad
but now I'm too far in
and I fear that I'll never be free
so I'm trapped in this web of lies
for now...

Everybody feels this way, believe it or not. I am one of those many people who suffer through so much pretending to be something that they're not. But slowly I'm getting over that, by just accepting who I am. If people judge you before they get to know you, that's their loss, not yours. You can't live out your life depending on other people, you won't get anywhere.
Great write.
