How Much Longer?

How much longer will I have to pretend?
That everything is okay
How many more days will I have to smile?
That big fake smile that's hiding my pain

How much longer will I have to hide?
Hide from everyone around me
How much longer will I have to wait?
For my wings to come so I can be free

I have waited for so long
So long I'm losing my grip
My hands are slipping, I can't hold on
How much longer until I slip?

Help me, please
I've fallen from grace
I can't find the light
I'm losing my faith

I can no longer see
As darkness overtakes me
How much longer will I have to wait?
Until I can be free

Hi!
I'm Maddy and I'm here to review for you :3
First; This is a fantastic piece. Easy to relate to, easy to read, easy to picture a writer going through. That's the thing about it though, it just seems way too easy. Your word choice is so simple, I would love to see you spice it up with a few more sense-enhancing words, you know? Maybe add some more complex properties to it, make it so its not extremely easy. Other than that, I really enjoyed the read. Keep it up!
Happy writing!
