Masquerade Of Apathy

by Miki   Dec 23, 2007


What laughing lips will never show
Is that they are in Masquerade
Pasted masks upon their face
So their smile never fades

Inside and apathetic heart
Dances threw the melodies
Of laughter it can never have
No simple task no remedy

Her feet will pace
Upon the ground
But her stone heart
Can make no sound

And she who has no faultiness
cannot be real
Most who act with perfection
end up to steal

Steal their soul and sell it
for apathy

    First, id like to say that i really liked this poem. i understood the message behind it, and i thought it was great.
    if you dont mind id like to make some suggestions in the poem.

    "Dances threw the melodies" should read "Dances through the melodies"

    the last couple of stanzas threw off the rhyming scheme, they were shorter than the first two. it throws the reader off a little bit.

    the second to last stanza read
    "And she who has no faultiness
    cannot be real
    Most who act with perfection
    end up to steal"

    i would suggest something like
    "And she who has no faultiness
    must not in fact be real
    those who act with perfection
    shall end up to steal"
    or something to that effect.

    i hope that you dont get mad for critiquing your poem. overall i thought it was good, i give it a 5*5
