Beauty’s disguise

by jamie ellen   Jul 24, 2005


All of the sadness she kept inside
Deceiving smiles sparkling eyes
Bubbles of laughter
Tears denied
The facade breaking all faith left with in
Hate boiling forth from beneath her skin
Upon this night she let it slip
Stung by emotion she let it spill
All lies unraveled
Holding her tight to show they care
She recovered and flicked her hair
Deceitful smile back in full
Eyes sparkling she has you fooled
Once again her laughter ignites the room
Returning home she faces the sky
She screams alone silently she dies
Yet they do not see
her beauty a masterful disguise
For the furry she burry’s inside
Fading bit by bit she is but a shadow
Of the girl that none of you really knew

    You offer freely a flawless emotion once more. There's a pull while reading your poetry, I swear it... I begin at a distance, only to find my nose pressed against the screen when it’s ended *laughs*.
    This is to say, I absolutely love you're writing and feel you deserve to be told that you're a great commodity to this forum.
    Lastly..."All of the sadness she kept inside
    Deceiving smiles sparkling eyes
    Bubbles of laughter
    Tears denied" These lines were terrific. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to this poem.
