Shaking in fear, <br />drowning in tears. <br />Faking her smile, <br />can't hold it for awile. <br /> <br />Lies after lies, <br />not wanting to try. <br />More fake than before, <br />can't take it anymore. <br /> <br />Receiving numerous voices, <br />accepting without a choice. <br />Tearing herself apart, <br />losing her beating heart. <br /> <br />A sudden burst of joy, <br />her emotions love to toy. <br />Not ever going to be the same, <br />can't recon by her name. <br /> <br />Being misheard, <br />by her poetic words. <br />Her truth and her past, <br />all turn to black.<br /><br />Heather Cropper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/her-98/
