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!

Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.
