In The Inside

[Smurfiee]

*This is a really short poem because I couldn't think of anything else to write... so yeah!*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I'm always pretending that everything is fine,

All you hear is my laughter,

All you see is my smile.

But there is more than just that- in the inside.

 

If other were to see myself from within,

They would see me as a different person.

They'll surely find an angry soul always shouting and cursing.

A broken heart always crying and moaning,

Desperately yearning to feel love's warm touch.

 

Lost hopes and dreams that were once filled with life

Have slowly diminished and died.

Such things, of course, I tell no one

Only me, myself, and I

All in the inside.

Hi

 

ON the inside.

 

If others were to see myself from within,

 

All ON the inside.

Always pretending that things are fine,

All you hear is my laughter,

All you see is my smile.  (you might try 'shine' here)

But there is more on the inside.

 

If others were to see me from within,

They would see a different person.

They'll surely find an angry soul, shouting and cursing. (not always, because you pretend - as in v1, also, changes strength)

A broken heart always crying and moaning,

Desperately yearning to feel love's warm touch.

 

Lost hopes and dreams  once filled with life

Have slowly diminished and died.

Such things, of course, I tell no one

Only me, myself, and I

All on the inside.

 

Smurfiee, I attempted to pull it in a bit, I think it has the same emotive impact, I hope that's okay - it's my take on it and I hope it leaves you with some ideas.
