Dear Mum And Dad by Holly

I don't know where to start.
I don't know where to end it.
I don't know how I keep on going.
So I'll just have to pretend it.

Everything I tell you is a lie.
I don't want to disappoint you.
I know you'll never read this.
You'll never know the truth.

You ask me how was school?
"Fine, ok, same as always."
I choose the lies that will give you comfort.
That'll get you through these days.

You just have no idea.
Of what goes on inside my head.
You'd never think for a moment.
That I'd prefer myself dead.

You know it's not your fault.
That these words won't spill.
I just don't want to let you down.
For you to see my mind is ill.

I'll take this opportunity to say, "I'm sorry".
Though these words will never reach you.
I'd rather I just kept your minds ignorant.
From all the things I do.

They'll be one day when you realise.
What went on inside my head.
You'll open the door, of the bedroom.
And find your daughter dead.

First poem on the sight and its really good. Congrats!Yeah, hiding is sometimes not the easiest thing to do,but would they be able to handle the truth?I doubt it. Most parents would need therapy themselves if they knew what their child was going trough. Don’t you agree? Keep on writing. xxx
