Lying Masks (Age: 15)

To everyone who knows me
I'm cheerful
Always bouncing around
Talking
Laughing
I'm someone to cheer everyone else up
But who will cheer me up?

To everyone who knows me
I'm happy
My life is perfect
Everything I've ever wanted is mine
I'm smart
I have a lot of friends
And guys
But I have nothing.

To everyone who knows me
I'm conceited
I know that I'm pretty
And smart
I know exactly who I am
And I can do whatever I want
But my security is so shaky
I need people to tell me what I already know.

To everyone who thinks they know me
They're wrong
It's all a mask
To cover up my unhappiness
My loneliness
My insecurity.
No one knows the real me.

*funny how something I wrote 10 years ago can STILL describe my feelings*
