Poem: my skin is WHITE, my mood is BLACK
i cant make up for the things i lack

my face is HAPPY, my eyes are SAD
is faking your happiness really that bad?

my own worst ENEMY, but nobody''s FRIEND
I just want my loneliness to end

I cover UP when im feeling DOWN
but this time its obvious to everyone around

just needing to LOVE, but so full of HATE
its not just myself i irritate

i dont want to LIVE, but im too scared to DIE
If i tell you im okay, you know its a lie

I push you AWAY, but i need you at HOME
if i keep this up i will end up alone

my heart is so EMPTY, but my head is so FULL
it builds up inside me, i think im in hell

feeling so FAT, when i want to be THIN
opposites never attract, and i will never win...
