Not knowing

See the girl you look at.
See the girl you don't know.
See the girl who isn't what you think she is.
See me.

You think you know me,
Everything that you can ever know,
Is because I chose to show it to you,
But I never show everything.

You think you understand,
The despondency of hope.
The pain that might lay dormant but never leaves.
The heart-wrenching despair that lies within me.

The unending infinity of grief,
The emptiness rampant, the longing unbearable,
The drowning angst, the breaking heart,
The happiness rare.

You see me smiling.
Laughing, I look so happy.
You never look under my mask.
My misery; it's there.

I'm crying, never stopping,
My face is a river of sorrow.
I'm not the girl you used to know.
You're sorry for that.
So am I.

Well?? Tell me what you think!! :)

    With this poem I got the idea that you were the one this poem was about it was sad and yet it was truthfull which I did like. It also told me that you are a person who is maybe alone and would love to have more friends. This everyone feels at one time but it also could mean that you are ready to have even more friends. Great job
