I smile this smile

by Nelle   Jul 19, 2006


I smile this smile so you think I'm ok
I hide these tears, so I can hide my pain
I keep these scars hidden so you can't see my falls
I keep my wrists bleeding so I can keep sane through it all

If you ask " How I am " and I say, I'm fine
Are you gonna believe me, or think I'm lying
Will you listen to me when i say "No I'm not crying"
Or will you see I'm really dying

I don't need you to hold my head up
No, I can do that on my own
I'm not helpless but I am hopeless
If i was queen would you come sit at my throne

Maybe, I can get you to see
All I can really be, is me
I will forever hide my tears from you
And I will forever cherish the things you do

    Interesting poem, certainly not your best, but good all the same. I think the first stanza is great, but the poem gradually fades into not being so great nearer the end. Even not being your best, this is still a good poem.

    Peace. [Sole]

    This is a very sad poem. Even though the rhymes were somewhat predictable you had a good flow going.
    The subject isn't all that new, but in this category what is? Thanks for sharing.
