Alone, June 2008 poem

You see my smile and hear me laugh.
You don't see the girl behind the mask.
How could you recognize the sorrow
that lurks behind my eyes?
Nobody sees the pain I work so hard to hide.
I can't let it show, I want to be strong.
But that strength is only an illusion
One I can't keep up much longer.
I just want to break down and cry.
I look around for someone to be strong for me,
but of course, nobody's there.
My world is empty, and I stand alone.
