Facade

by Simply Complex   Nov 18, 2008


Smiles and laughter
All so fake
Tears and screams
Wrack her insides
Trying to escape

Forget falling through
Forget giving in
Got to keep fighting
Keep the insanity in

Smile until you die
Never let them see you cry
Facades and appearance
Keep it together.

Everything's fake.
There's nothing but numbness.
Hatred, Anger, Rage, Revenge
Bubble to the surface

Her strength keeps it in check
She won't fail anymore
Her need to see him happy
Burns her to the core

    I can definitely feel and understand this poem quite well. I used to go around wearing a happy smiling mask and it took a long time for me to get over wearing that mask and say screw you I will feel what I want to feel whenever I want to. If you don't like it oh well. There is so much fakeness in the world since people feel the need to put up walls and fronts to not let people see the real them and thats sad. If people were more accepting of others the world would be much brighter and more real. The flow of the poem was ok, some parts I would change and bring the last line up to mesh well with the others. Also punctuation always helps to emphasize breaks but I won't tell you to change your style. Keep up the good work!

    This surely is filled with emotion... yet you tend to lose a little bit of your great talent for wording... It flows better than any other poem i've read until now, though... (i know, it's hard to focus on many things at the same ttime :) )

    the ending is wonderful...again...
    (you seem to have always great endings :) )
    Your last stanza is completely marvellous...

    5/5 as well
