My Inner Frown

In cast from the world lying in a wait,

no one notices the building hate.

The whispers, the looks, those smiles of lies.

I can always see through the disguise.

They're saying something I know,

The looks of disgust hidden inside.

They don't realize the pain they make me hide.

They don't know what I see within

past the fake mischievous grin.

To who they are, to what's inside ,

yet they look at my form and I want to hide.

They don't give me a chance.

They walk on by with no second glance.

Hate to those who give the pain.

It turns to sorrow with nothing to gain.

So I wear a mask and hide from all.

Awaiting the day I can let it fall.

To how I feel let it be heard...

to say I'm in pain to scream out each word.

If only I had some self-esteem to make it through this world. I long to wake up and see a "pretty" girl. When I do for that will be the day the mask falls down and my outer smile will replace my inner frown.
