Ghosts Don't Cry

by Wasted Fake Smiles   Sep 4, 2006


Walking around, aimless, lost in the crowd.
Trying to be heard, but the noises are so loud.
After a long day, coming home to fights,
Not getting a word in edgewise; lonely nights.

Welcome to my life, I'm only a ghost,
Not noticed by many, ignored by most.
Often want to break down, and want to die,
Or cry my eyes out, but ghosts don't cry.

Finally a little freedom, out with friends,
But ignored by you, the pain never ends.
Love shown one way, yet hate the other,
Then the time comes to see my mother.

I see her only a little, yet important I'm not,
Complaining and yelling, making cheeks hot.
Talking to her boyfriend for an hour it seems,
Actually spending time with HER is just a dream.

Welcome to my life, a ghost I'll remain,
Many ignore me, many don't know my name.
Often I want to break down, but when I try,
I recall that one thing, ghosts don't cry.

    Congrats on winning the contest! since this is the one you submitted, i thought i should r/r/c on it. well, it was a fantastic piece of writing. there were a few words you probably could have eliminated to make the flow a bit better, but those words added to the dynamics of the poem, so im not quite sure how you would fix that... but it sounds alright to me just the way it is! so, promises kept, you are now on my favorites but not only because i HAD to put you on, but because i truly love your poetry!

    Welcome to my life, I'm only a ghost,
    Not noticed by many, ignored by most.

    Welcome to my life, a ghost I'll remain,
    Many ignore me, many don't know my name.

    These four lines are really outstanding.

    Perfect flow and originality.
