Split Personalities
Why am I so sad
Why am I so confused
Why do I spend my days laughing
And my nights crying
Why do I seem so light-hearted
When I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders
Why can't my insides
Show on the outside
Why does only the happy ditz come out
When there is a depressed philosopher screaming for a friend inside
Why don't I have anyone who understands me
When so many people think I'm like them
Why do I think it would be better to just not exist
When I know I would never try anything
Why does it seem that I live on the outside
When I live on the inside
Why do I wear bright colors
When all I want to do is hide in the dark
Why can't I finish this poem
When I know it's rambling on
Why do I think that this will help every time
When it never does
Why does no one know that I'm in a rut
Why does no one see my pain
I know it is nothing in comparison with others
And I know that I am not important in the grand scheme of things
But I have one more question to ask,
Why does not being noticed hurt so much?
