give me a break
Hiding behind a smile
No one knows the real me
Crying myself to sleep
Not knowing how much more I can take
No one cares to look
Behind my smile that is fake
I make sure everyone's ok
Checking up on them day and night
Just so they dont go through
The battle that I fight
No one should go through
The journey that I own
I put their happiness before mine
So they dont go through it alone
How much more can I really take
All I know is I just need a break

and you'll see
the multitude
of my insecurities
shining through
the cracks in my smile
that I painted on
just for you
-a poem by me that I thought related.
I just started writing poetry and i love it, and I hope someday I will get published
