Unpleasant Reminders Poem by megan dickson

i wish these wounds would heal
and stop reminding me of the past
i wish i couldnt feel
the pain of the memories that last
memories of so long ago
yet they seem like just yesterday
they torment me and wont let me go
no matter how hard i pray

i'm a fake and a fony
is how everybody what i think they want to see
and so foolish and easy
they buy this fake personality
i plaster a fake smile on my face everyday
trying to make everyone believe me when i say i'm okay
when the truth is i'm sad and depressed
with years of anger repressed

there is alot for me to be happy about in my life
truth is, all along i've had things nice
but i can't enjoy anything
when i know that i've been forgotten
taught a valuable lesson
at an age so young
trust no one
