Living A Lie
November 30, 2016
Living a lie,
It’ll make me cry.
Very expertly I hide
Inevitable feelings inside.
No one sees me
Getting lost in this dark sea.
A lie is what I’ll live,
Let me show you what life doesn’t give.
I’ll perfectly defy
Every rule of life as I’m living a lie.

This poem talks about my thoughts on hiding your emotions/feelings. In my opinion, hiding your feelings is like living a lie, but people hide their feelings every day, which is sad. You should be able to speak the truth, but the rules of life- more society's wishes than life's wishes, really- make it almost impossible for you to do so when everyone else judges you for it.
