I try to smile; I fake my laughter So that you won't see All of my pain.
I built a wall around me To hide my emotions Because I don't want to bother you With what's going on inside me.
You accepted me For who I am; One of the few caring ones Who helped heal my wounds.
You make me laugh- I enjoyed it Even though I said you seemed stupid at times; That helped stay my hand From resorting to more pain.
The wall I've built Is impenatrable- and yet... Yet you slipped through a crack And discovered the true me.
You still don't see my pain, I suffer alone From the expectatiolns and comments of my cruel peers.
Now you're pulling away And you're adding a wound A wound that grows deeper Every time we don't speak.
You were one of the few Who ever saw the real me But it was another Who discovered my burdens.
Secretly I have wished That you would take another look And help me again, Like you unknowingly did before.
I wrote this after a good friend of mine- the one mentioned in the note of my previous entry- decided that he didn't want to be around me anymore. Another friend of my blew me off every time I needed to talk to someone just ecause her "boyfriend was on the other line." This person didn't speak to me again until winter formal on December 4th, 2007 - about 5 months after we quit speaking.
