Question

I'm What They Want Me To Be

On the outside I'm laughing,but on the inside I'm crying.
On the outside I'm living, but on the inside I'm dying.
the outside I'm full of joy,but on the inside I'm so empty,
and because I feel this way even I resent me.
On the outside I think I'm loved,
but on the inside I know I'm not even liked.
I like living life on the outside,even though I know it's not right.
On the outside I write poetry,but on the inside I'm telling you my story.On the outside it seems as if people listen,
but when important things are said,they don't pay attention.
On the outside I'm praying for help,but wondering if God still hears.Wondering why my pillows are so wet,filled with all my tears.On the outside I smile, and try to play pretend,
but that's because no one really cares.No one on the outside is looking in. On the outside I cover up bruises with bandages,
but on the inside I'm still not healed.

I like to love life on the outside that way you don't know how I feel
On the outside I think I have many friends,

but on the inside I think most are phonies.

On the outside I'm surrounded by many,

but inspite of that I still feel lonely.

On the outside I never speak up,

and there's so many things I'd like to mention,

and I feel like if I said these things,

I really could make a difference.

On the outside I see those with dreams,

those with goals, and those are who I envy.

Maybe I don't know what I want to be in life,

because I try to hide who's within me.

Then people say they want to live my life,

but they don't know what it takes, see,

anybody can see what's on the surface.

But they don't know what really makes me

Answer 1

Even though it's sad I think it is really good. I wrote something very similar to this once.

Answer 2

Don't worry, sad Emo person.

Luckily, you will eventually grow up and look back on this phase of your childhood and laugh, laugh, laugh at yourself.

Now, go find that MCR cd and cry it out.
