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.
