Image for the poem Just like everyone else

Just like everyone else

Everyone has a secret  
 
Something they can never tell no one.
Everyone has a secret
Hidden scars
Something so dark that they keep inside.
 
But after one too many  
I wanted to have a beautiful story to tell  
It was never my intention  
To find myself with a bunch of lies.  
 
In this stormy weather called my life
I longed for rainbows, Unicorns and sunshine.
A bit of joy, in this poeting tragedy
Started building Castle in the sky
Something so beautiful that everyone could buy  
Wanted to say that I had it
Drove it like I stole it  
I wanted to be happy too
 
But it all burnt out  
It all crashed down  
The walls caved in
Heavy is the crown of lies.
 
I guess I got tired of wondering why I'm still alive
Put the burden aside and be happy for awhile  
But one lie turned into another
Can you see how exaggerated is it?
 
I'm getting exhausted
It's getting harder to keep up  
But I hope one day you figure it out
It wasn't my intention to intrigue you with a bunch of lies  
I just wanted to be happy too
 
Just like everyone else
