Lashes Glistening With Tears...

by Snickerpie   Aug 9, 2011


She says she's fine.
But even as she says that,
A tear slips from her eye.
She hates that she has to lie.
Yet, she knows they won't understand..
[So why even try?]
She closes her eyes & her lashes are glistening with tears.
Her hands are shaking from her fears.
Her heart is breaking in her chest.
As she's failing her life's test.
She feels her sanity recede.
She feels that painful need.
She can't bring herself to ask for help..
She can only voice a sad yelp...
She's breaking apart.
Losing her heart.
She's slowly losing her mind.
But if you asked her what's wrong,
[She'd tell you she's fine.]

    The rhyme scheme threw me off a bit, but it had a strong ending. I loved the repetition. It's a very common and relatable subject. One that never gets old. Another good piece.

    I love the title, very catchy and you want to read it. Which is the first of many ways to lure someone to enjoy your work.
    You wrote about something everyone can relate too and did it in a very professional way. Excellent

    I can really relate to this. it brought a tear to my eye as I felt like I was reading about myself. Although the first few lines were slightly forced and the flow kept breaking but ended well. Loved the title though.
