Look Closely.....

Found some old writings of mine, thought I'd share.

If you look closely in my eyes,
you can see the sadness deep within,
You could see past this simple facade,
that I place before me.
You would see that this smile,
that I put on my face,
is just to distract you,
while I cry.
Every morning when I wake,
I put my mask on and
prepare myself for the masquerade
you call life.
I parade around
pretending to be a well adjusted individual.
Pretending to be
what the world wants me to be.
But deep down,
I'm no where near satisfied
with my life.
But that's something
you'll never know,
because you didn't take the time,
to look closely in my eyes.
