A poem I’ve been working on

[rylan]

Everyone told her she looks just like her mother
They gave her the planets one after the other
But she only heard what she thought was all lies

She hid scars and flaws behind her false pride
She thought she could read everybody’s own mind
But if only she knew they see past her disguise

At dawn she smiled, at dusk she wept
She tossed and turned and barely slept
But if only she knew, if only she could see
She wasn’t alone, and never had to be

So she set off, a mask covered her face
Believing she would never finish this race
But if only she knew, if only she saw
Her emotions were pure, her emotions were raw

If only she knew she was always heard
If only she saw her expression spoke words

She fell as she walked, and she sunk as she sat
She just wanted someone to stay and chat
But only if she knew her words had strength
She shouldn’t have to keep people at arm’s length

If only she had known, if only she had cared
There really were people always there

Ok, I really liked that!
Especially "But if only she knew, if only she could see. She wasn't alone, and never had to be"
Not the usual type of poem I see other places.
You are a very good writer rylan
