The Me Inside

poem by: Danielle Gilmore
Written on Mar 03, 2018

The me inside, you never see, is the me inside, I will never be.
I have a secret, I will never tell.
They think they know me, I am strong you'd think, but behind this smile lies a lot of pain.
Now you know me, because I let you in.
You know all about me, well think again.
Do you know I cry almost every night?
Do you know I feel too weak to fight?
I still carry on, like it's all okay.
I want to die, but instead I pray.
I have to stay strong, it's not all about me.
I have two daughters, I will never leave.
They drive me crazy, and stress me out
I am their mother, without a doubt.
They have been my world, from the very start.
Yes they drive me insane, but they stole my heart.
So now you know the me inside.
I let you in, I did not hide.
When you see me, do not assume.
Hey there's that girl, that one that lies.
That one that's weak, that one that hides.
I know all about her, she's too weak to hold on, but guess again.
I am still here, you see?
I am the strongest person, you will ever meet.

She Lies

poem by Danielle Gilmore

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 b... Read more
