Act
Why do you shut me out when I need you?
When you need me, your out in the rain
begging for my forgiveness
my heart can't bear to see tears running down your face
like a statues tears
I forgive, help, get betrayed
my heart knows to expect arrows every time you talk
every "please" hits my heart
this kind of bleeding is hidden well
I put my mask on
go out
carve a smile on my face
but im f

in the hole you dug out for me
too scared to leave
for the fear of being left alone
the act is exhausting
tears fill my eyes
my room
the only place that sees me unmasked
sleep tight my little angel, for tomorrow
is another day of acting.

I've always been a very dramatic person, I keep a lot inside and let it out on paper. This piece really hits hard and goes deep into my feelings, it's only a portion of many peoples lives out there and with my work I hope that I can get people to relate. I discovered my admiration for poetry in 4th grade, when I got a poem published for the first time. After that I started writing, every time I felt like I was lost I looked for a pen and paper and words would flow out of me without having to think. I'd really like to thank Ms Zainab Khan my 9th grade English teacher who really pushed me and made me believe in myself.
