The Truth Poem by Karina Castle

Why can't I be happy
Why can't it be real
All I do is pretend
My lips are sealed

No one knows the truth
I feel only strife
There isn't any happiness
In my sad lil life

I can pretend normally
But it's all a lie
Every last second
I just wanna die

Some people I love
And some things they say
Like “I love you”
Make me want to live another day

That feeling only lasts a lil while
Then it's back to the same old me
Never happy Always suicidal
But that others will never see
