Masked In Sadness

by Jenni Marie   Jan 24, 2007


I don't know who I am anymore
Didn't expect my life to turn out this way
Sometimes I wish my life to end
My soul and body clay.

A typical day will
Start with a fake smile
And I'll try and convince myself
That everything will be worthwhile.

I love my family so much
I'll be grateful for my friends til my dying day
I know I have so much to live for
But my life shouldn't have turned out this way.

I know only one thing
Something people will never know I feel
I'm constantly masked in sadness
And the pain is the only thing real.

    Thats a great ending to that poem, i think you could shorten a couple of the lines though but you know what i'm like at sayin that haha.
    You should start giving me titles and see how mine turn out, aslong as you promise not to laugh lol

    Nice, I could sense your words and their meaning. Keep up the prose and remember to be one with your poem. If it is real you’ll be able to feel it breath and its heart to beat. A poem is a fragment of time, a sliver of emotion trapped in our hearts and set free upon the page. Where it can finally sore and fly with other poems or cry and weep with other broken hearts. Poetry is nothing more than emotion set in motion. Poetry is seldom more than the small fossil that waits within the stone begging for someone to chip it free, and then to wonder how it came to be.

    Keep up your good works. May your poems be a great frame for your emotion’s. May there be peace and love in your life. And may the mark you make upon those hearts around you be filled with joyous fragments of your own heart.
