Tight Rope Of Shame (Novo Otto)

by Jenni Marie   Jun 10, 2007


Smiling a fake smile every day
Always pretending I'm okay
Wanting to be rid of this pain
Seems no one knows just how I feel
Sometimes don't think that I can deal
Feeling like I'm going insane
No one knows that each day I cry
That I'm living some twisted lie
I'm walking the tight rope of shame

Novo Otto-Consists of 9 lines each with 8 syllables. Rhyme scheme is aacbbcddc

    This piece I really enjoyed. It shows how strong a person has to be to go on living day to day. I too smile, even though filled with pain, day to day. A very well penned piece.
