As I slip into the deeps of myself
wiping emotions from my face
closed up
I leave no signs of disturbance

Sometimes I think people try to provoke me
just to try and get something beside this
the constant smile, the downcast eyes
how can they know

I wasn't always like this
I raged, I cried and I dared to look
Now I hide it all
yet it can be seen sometimes
in those silent eyes
Old poem found in one of my notebooks (probably early 2011), had to edit some spelling and whatnot while I wrote it up here.

There was a time in my life when I would do everything I could to shoulder the burdens of everyone I knew.
Back when I thought I could fix everything.



I wish I could do that again, sometimes.


Thanks for letting me read this :)
