Pretend
I am known as
a goody-goody.
A girl that does everything she is told.
Someone that always has a smile on her face.
Most people don't relize,
that I am not any of those things.
I am not a good kid.
In any way.
the smile that is on my face,
is not real.
Everyday, it is pretend.
I am going through so much,
and so few know.
People may not believe me,
but I am depressed.
Everyday, all day.
It gets worse everyday.
Only a very few know what I am going through.
They try to help,
but I just snap at them.
The people that know
I am hurt,
try to help,
but then,
I just end up,
hurting them in the end.
It's always my fault.
Everyone knows it,
they just won't admit it.
I have made stupid descisions
because of the depression.
I have made mistakes that will forever haunt me.
I did things that I
am not proud of.
But from these mistakes
and descisions,
I hope I learned.
I know,
with this,
only a few can connect.
But for those individuals,
I hope they know,
that they are not alone
in this cold cruel world.
It may not seem like it,
but there is someone,
that knows what
you are going through.

I hope that people will understand that they are not alone in this world. If they are depressed, it can help to have a freind or someone to help you through it.
