When I was in High School my teacher told my class to write a poem. She wanted our poem to be a mouthpiece for our heart. When she asked us to write a poem I was not excited; I was never a fan of writing poems. I can write an essay on any topic but I HATE writing poems. To cut a long story short, tonight I was cleaning my closet and I found the poem I wrote for that class. I don't think it's poem material lol but I know many girls can read my "poem" and relate to it. I wish I could remember how old I was when I wrote this!
As I look at myself in the mirror I wonder what make-up will I wear today. I have to find something beautiful; something that will conceal the pain that I hide inside, because to the world I'm perfect and that's a lie I'm not ready to reveal. I begin to put on my eyeliner, now no one will know that these beautiful eyes cried a river last night. I begin to put on my lipstick, now no one will know these lips cried God why me? I'm almost done, I look amazing! Now no one can see the real me. No one can see the girl that's a victim of a thousand lies. No one can see the girl that cries her eyes out at night. No one can see the girl with the broken heart. My make-up is my best friend, the secret to all my lies.
...I remember when I finished writing this poem I put it in the back of my notebook and end up writing a poem about fairytale because I thought this poem was too deep.
