Before It's Too Late Poem by Lisa Chicharello

I sit here on this Earth
Making sure my Friends are doing well
When I'm not doing so well myself
I use Friends like a tool
Using them as Shields
Just so I can hide my Feelings
If I'm hurt
I don't want my Friends to be concern about me
Everyone seems to be living Life
The way it should be
Happy and Loved
...Just look at me
Sad and depressed
If you personally know me
You notice that I don't smile alot
I hide that emotion by using Friends
To make it seem like I'm Happy
On the Inside however
I'm all alone
I find it ironic
It's Hard to find people who looks up to you
...But it's Easy to find people who looks down to you
I must find a way
To keep these emotion
Locked up for good
So that I can smile...
Have a Laugh...
Be Happy.....
For once in my Life
I must find the answer
Before it's too late......
