I wake up each morning <br />With another tear stained face <br />And no matter how hard I try <br />These tears I can't erase <br /> <br />I go to school and smile <br />Just wishing this would end <br />My smile is slowly fading <br />Its getting harder to pretend <br /> <br />I then go off to practice <br />Where again I'm forced to lie <br />I just can let them see <br />The pain behind my eyes <br /> <br />Then finally I get home <br />And rush up to my room <br />And once again I start to cry <br />And my life is now resumed <br /> <br />And when the nighttime comes <br />I'm not sure what i'll do <br />I try my best to keep myself <br />From feeling down and blue <br /> <br />But in the end I cry <br />Knowing that its wrong <br />I guess my plan has failed <br />Showing I'm not strong <br /> <br />I then reach for the knife <br />To dull the pain inside <br />And this I do deserve <br />For all the times I've lied <br />I cry myself to sleep <br />Like I do each night <br />And as I sleep I wonder <br />Will I ever win this fight…<br /><br />Emily Reid<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fake-smiles-and-lies/
