Emotions
Dorothy J Garcia 1976 (Clark AFB)
I can fake a smile that goes a long way
I can fake a laugh that does the same
I can't fake my tears that fall down my face
But I can cover them with a warm embrace
I am once again in a heart full of pain
Because all those years have just gone down the drain
I'm tired of trying
That's why I am always crying
I hate being depressed
That I feel so unlucky and unblessed
It's hard to do things when your mad
And hard to smile when your sad
There has not once been a halfway with you
Because your too busy making me blue
All 17 years has gone to waste
I do not see a 50 year mark cake to taste
My worst fear of all has finally come true
That my family has been torn apart solely by you
