My facade me

By: Jackie Trammell

I used to rely on compliments

But now I strive off them

I used to keep my chin up

But now I cry non-stop

I used to follow my sister

But now I lead us deeper in the dark

I used to try to be myself

But now it’s no use trying



I seem to be all smiles

But really I am lost

I seem to be calm and collected

But really I am screaming to speak

I seem to be boy crazy

But really I am just wanting to be loved

I seem to be confused

But really I am set on what I want
