The Silence, The Lonely, The Lies

by Lashea

Have you ever felt so alone,

Like nothing makes since anymore

Well, that's how I feel right now

Like I'm facing everything alone

With nothing but tears and a fake smile

 

I know life was never meant to be easy

but I never thought it would be this hard

I try to see the good things in life

but, good things in life are just hard to find

 

You've taken away everything

Why can't you see

My silence is another word for my pain

I'm tired or fighting a battle I'll never win

 

Waiting for my time

You ruined me

Afraid

You Ruined me

You've taken away everything

 

Open up your eye's

and look with in yourself

Are you happy with the life your living

 

Open up your eyes

Because your heart can tell no lies

Although, sometimes you have to lie

In order to find all truth

 

The cruelest lies are told in silence

but when truth is replaced by silence

The silence is a lie

I agree that this would do well if it was separated into stanzas. Also about the typos.
The point I want to get out though is that this is very well written. You've just voiced a lot for many silenced and I love that.
"The cruelest lies are told in silence
but when truth is replaced by silence
The silence is a lie"
I love these lines best, quite probing.
Keep writing! Never stop.

I love the message of this poem and the idea of it. I also like the flow of it, it sounds very musical and pretty. I suggest you separate it into stanzas, it would be a bit easier to read and follow. Also, I noticed a few typos in there, so you may want to check over it again and fix those. That's all, good job, keep writing!
