Two Faces

Smiling, helping everyone

Sulking, no homework done

Always cheerful, and seen hanging out

Insecure and really lonely at heart

Laughing and joking along

Crying when she’s home alone

Being there for people

when they’re feeling down

Screaming into the void

when she really needs someone.

. . .

“Do you need someone to talk to?”

“Please save me, I feel hopeless.”

“Don’t worry, it’ll get better!”

“Why am I so useless?”

“Love yourself!”

“I hate myself...”

“I’ll be here for you”

“Don’t I need someone too?”

. . .

Split personalities,

one contrasting the other.

Masking herself,

While inside, she suffers.

Regretting the past,

She puts up walls.

Dwelling on mistakes, but alas,

When will she move on?
