She Lies

poem by: Danielle Gilmore
Written on Mar 03, 2018

She's so strong, she lies.
There's nothing wrong, she lies.
That smile you see, she lies.
She looks happy, she lies.
She'll say she's fine, she lies.
She does not cry, she lies.
She never falls down, she lies.
She will always be around, she lies.
She does not care, she lies.
She is not scared, she lies.
You will not see, she lies.
She'll make you believe, she'll lie.
So why do you see, a strong person in her?
She lies to you, but cries at night.
That girl you see, is too tired to fight.
She really cares, she cares a lot.
She's scared to death, her nerves are shot.
So you see this girl, with her head held high.
She'll never let you see her cry. 
There are people that need her, and there she will always be.
A daughter, a mother, a sister, a lover.
They will never know, she's dying inside.
She can't do it without them, without them she'll die.
They never will know, she's the one that's in need.
The one that is drowning, at night while they sleep.
She lies to them and everyone else.
A girl that seems strong, she hides it so well. 
But what you won't see, is a broken soul in this girl.
She'll say that I'm fine, but she's going through hell.

I Can't Stand You...

poem by Danielle Gilmore

I can't stand the ground you walk on. I can't stand the way you look. I can't stand the stuff you say to me, it's like you're reading it out of a book. I can't stand the way you talk. I can't stand the way you walk. I can't ... Read more
