Amber Millar Poems

Under all the smiles,
And fake, plastic exterior,
Under all the laughs,
And silly little jokes,
...

Just because she comes off strong,
That doesn't mean she doesn't cry herself to sleep,
Just because she says nothing's wrong,
That doesn't mean she's OK,
...

Go on, just look right through me,
Like I'm not here,
The more you look, the harder you find it to see,
So stop looking,
...

This is the untold tale of my life,
My real life,
Behind the mask,
The smiling faces and good grades,
...

My heart's jumping, pumping hard,
It's got a life of its own,
Flying, bouncing,
Making my chest hurt,
...

You'll never understand,
Because you don't want to,
If you took the time to look inside,
You'd see how many tears really pass through these eyes,
...

I feel a presence in the night,
An eerie creeping around the room,
A tiptoe hopping silently past my face,
I am alert and scared,
...

You won't ever see me again,
I won't let you hurt me anymore,
When you don't even know you're doing it,
I made up your mind for you,
...

Yes, I care what you think,
I always have, always will,
I make an impression but I always fall short,
I could be so much more,
...

Fallen angel,
All alone,
Crying in the darkness,
With no one to wipe away her tears,
...
