You can't see I'm so unhappy
I hide it very well.
I feel inside like screaming
"Everyone of you go to Hell".
I put myself where I am now
No one else is to blame
I know where my heart belongs
But I gave up that chance and that name.
But I didn't give up my pendant
Or the password he helped me to make
There are things I'm willing to part with
There are also things I can't take...
With smiles and plesant words and gestures
I will be as cordial as is possible
Being mean would do me good
Being happy and gay isn't plausible.
So deal with my quietness and solitude
Get used to my moods and my ways
For as long as I'm not with the one I love
This will be the way of my days.

Well done
Very nice. I like the flow and whatnot. I like the theme and concept being reached...its like your being stubborn and refuse to act happy if you cant have your way...
SOUNDS LIKE ME! jk....i myself have learned that we must make the best of situations for our own sake as well as others.
well done here. -
Very touching and sincere ...
and I loved the personal little secrets shared:
But I didn't give up my pendant
Or the password he helped me to make
So endearing.
Please reconsider every move you make. Your future happiness is at stake.
Love
Myra
