Only The Truth

~By Saria Anasazi Phoenix

So very sorry
Shall I cry or hold it back?
I beg you please don't leave me.
I couldn't stand the pain it would bring,
Even death would be less painful.
At least it would be quick.
Unlike the pain I'd suffer without you.
A slow and painful death over many years,
And if I was to live through them
It would be like crying into the wind.
Because only I'll notice my tears.
I'm scared to show emotion.
Because I'm afraid they'll simply laugh.
Honest to God I'm mortified by them.
I like to think I don't need them.
I like to think I'm strong.
But I'm not,
I'm weak like everyone else.
Except I cant accept it.
My own downfall,
I'm not perfect.
I'm paranoid you'll leave me,
The world hates me.
It takes a lot of strength to be different,
To face ridicule and criticism.
To know everyone's talking about you.
And to pretend to be strong.
But really inside your so hurt.
You put on a fake smile and pretend,
Your better than them.
But your not.
Your lying to yourself,
To help you believe.
Your strong,
But its just an illusion.
Just tell yourself,
Your strong.
