The Curtains Poem by Lesly Naomi Lepes

The Curtains



My life is an act
I like to distract everyone from my pain
Its something i just cant explain
I try to drain it by putting up a front and pretending nothing is wrong
It works although im not to found of when the curtains close
Then is when i want to overdose
Im myself's foe
The only way you'll know is by the scars on my arms
People say that im harming my self but thats the way i cope
When i act thats the only time I feel there is hope
But when the curtains close
I rely on dope
Eventually, i get to the point where i cant act and everybody knows there is something wrong for a fact

'I like to distract everyone from my pain' this verse here is the reason why most pple write and most writers can relate to it. but trust me sometimes it's so painful to hide things away from pple and go thru it by yourself without anyone knowing but sometimes it really bites....so whenever you go thru things that you can not share with anyone just get your pen and start writing.... keep it up! ! ! ! !
