Family
Amongst so many
so many that should love me
(for me)
so many that laughed and chatted
I was alone
Silent, and with my lovely smile
the smile that breakes my heart
and that oh, so dutifully delivers the lie
I sat between them,
making them all believ my lies
The friendly, well-meaning questions
about unimportant stuff
The standard and emotionless hugs
just done out of habit
All make belief
We laugh about honesty
concluding that we all were well
How wrong we were
How wrong you were
Stop the pretending

OMG this poem completely describes my life right now. I HATE pretending and I HATE how a lot of the people who used to be a big part of my life now only pretend to care and be around. It drives me nuts. I completely understand how you feel in this one. I'm here for you if you need anything or just want to talk or something. Hope things look up soon

Thanks. I am hoping a vacation with some friends will help. And be away from my family a while,it is easier to forgive temporary friends than family for the neglect.
Hope that you have a good summer :)
