Teen Mind

February 27, 2013
By Anonymous

You hold your tears
but you know you can't forever;
You smile
for the sake of your sanity;
You remain silent
for every word is a potential outbreak;
You lie
everything isn't okay;
You look around
realizing this isn't you;
You are in a costume
just playing the part

Not everyday is gonna be easy. As a teenager, life has its struggles. Sometimes we let it take over us.
