Want To Be Me Again

I smile every day.

I laugh in every way.

People tell me that I’m always so happy.

But underneath it all,

I’m not happy at all.

I run away from my problems.

Don’t want to deal with the pain.

But it seems the more I run,

it drives me insane.

I wish somebody could help me,

but no one understands.

I can’t even help myself.

At least I think I can’t.

All the smiling faces, people holding hands.

I wonder if they could feel the same way,

I wonder if anybody can.

So can anybody help me.

Is anybody there.

I need someone to understand.

I can’t keep running off my troubles.

I need to become me again.

This is exactly the kind of poem I write sometimes, just for myself. You've captured exactly how it feels! I bet lots of people can relate.
