Tomorrow Has Enough Worry Of Its Own
It's Best Left Unsaid
Things I keep to myself....
Although I've kept going
when the going got rough
I've heard pain keeps you growing
though, I feel I'm not good enough
I work hard to be happy
but I don't feel like it counts
Most days I feel crappy
feel like throwing in the towel
Most days I am lonely
seems I am always alone
Still at work, I keep going
I smile when answering the phone
Cause you know, they can hear it
if you're wearing a frown
And I hate to admit that
I don't want to let anyone down
It's my job to be happy
and make those around me feel good
That's what my grandmother taught me
I want to do as I should
They always said, if you're giving
then it finds its way back around
But, I think someone was kidding
cause I always feel let down
And that makes me feel guilty
So I suck it all up
I know to some, it seems silly
but it's always been who I was
But, these days....I'm disconnected
these days, I don't want to care
I know what it's like to be rejected
when those you thought had you, aren't there
So, this is my confession
I want to make it alright
Just please answer this question
if I don't, will you survive?

Ah man, so sad, but good, Kelli <3
Oh gosh. This was incredibly sad. Sometimes I wish people asked what was going on behind the smile. This was great Kelli and I hope you are ok too.
Nice, Kelli. I especially liked these two lines, they brought a smile to my face: "I smile when answering the phone Cause you know, they can hear it"
Probably not. But then, I probably won't survive if you do anyway. Just sayin', lol.
All it takes is a little understanding by all involved. Good job.
