I pretend that every thing's OK <br />when all I want to do is breakdown <br />why cant people take me for who I am <br />It shouldn't matter what you look like <br />What you want to do with your life <br />I pretend that I don't care what they say <br />but deep down I fall apart <br />it seems like I'm hated by the world <br />no where to go no where to hide <br />just holding my pillow tight <br />wanting this to disappear <br />why cant I live inside my dreams <br />where I can be myself <br />don't want to stay where I'm <br />not wanted <br />why do people judge me <br />if they don't know me <br />it just rips me in half <br />when they say things that <br />aren't true and it spreads everywhere <br />and your alone wanting to stay shut up <br />holding your pillow tight <br />with the music up <br />crying yourself to sleep <br />I pretend I'm OK but <br />I just want to fall apart <br /> <br /> <br />(8-9-06)<br /><br />Heather Hill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-pretend-2/
