Tied Together With A Smile.

by ABake   Oct 7, 2007


[Yes, this was inspired by Taylor Swifts "Tied Together With a Smile"]

I am tied together with a smile, and no one knows.
These days make up works miracles, as does lies.
The pain is hidden, never does a hint of sadness show.

I am holding on, but am close to letting go.
Emotional weight is holding me down....
Still no one realizes, and never will they know.

The pressure to be perfect is what kills me...
My artificial smile is no longer helping.
Happy is something I only dream I will be.

Walls are breaking down and so am I...
Like rain, tears fall down my face.
Sometimes I lay here, hoping I will die...

I am tied together with a smile, I am coming undone.
Everyone can see my pain now...naked to the world.
Happy days are long, long gone.

[I don't know about this one. Lol. But I hope you enjoy]

    " never will they know." << never, will
    "now...naked to the world." . . . now - naked to. . .

    I did enjoy it.
    Excluding the few punctuation mistakes it's perfect. The flow was great. ALONG WITH THE MEANING.

    You pulled it off again, darling.
    I must say, with completely honesty, I didn't think you'd be this good. IN A GOOD WAY. I knew by the poems you entered that you were a good writer. But, the more I read the more I like your poetry. I can tell a lot of it comes from the heart or at least means something to you.

    I'm fond of that kind of poetry.
    It's even better if it's good too. LIKE YOURS!

    Lol.
    5/5
