I have to turn it in for a grade, and I wanted to know if it sounds stupid or corny or something!. And I need some help with a title, too!
So!.!.!.here it is:
With the complexion of joy
My face of distress is deceiving
At times I lose all hope
That my dreams are still worth believing
I wait every day for a change
But my hopes are always crushed
Like an elderly man in his grave
My spirit turns to dust
Yet, silent as a graveyard,
I lock those thoughts inside
Few people truly know me
Or how many tears I've cried
Though I appear unconcerned
There is much I have to say
But since no one understands
I hide it all away
I long to see the liars punished
And the honest given praise
Though often their works are disregarded
While the unrighteous get their way
I am fearful of punishment
And disapproval from ones I love!.
I strive to reach perfection
But am never perfect enough
I see happiness as a delicate rose;
When alive, it appears so lovely
But the petals blacken far too soon
And a dark cloud forms above me
All my peers are so confident
But I can barely look in the mirror
Expressing my emotions is torturous
Because my thoughts are never clear
All these feelings wear me down
As each endless day drags on
But I can never reveal them to anyone else
For fear of being looked down upon
