My smile outside <br />Don't even begin to hide <br />The real me... <br />the tconfusion and tears I've cried <br />The way I feel inside <br />lost. <br />cold. <br />hurt and confused <br />there's no other words to explain my growing pains <br />I hate this place <br />I'm done and ready to break <br />time to give up. <br />someone come and just take me away <br />But that kid gotta stay strong <br />needs to prove them wrong <br />Ijust can't stand being this way <br />look, all I ask for is someone to relate.<br /><br />Andres Gonzalez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-my-mask/
