Her Smile


Happy or Sad

You'll never know

she never lets it show.

She thinks smile, please stay awhile

don't go, NO, don't go.

Then they'd all know

I need for you to stay,

never go away.

Smile, you keep my secrets

all of the bits and pieces

that i don't care to share

hurt.pain.emberassment.

Sometimes it feels like too much to bare,

yet my best bet is to smile.

Although, I feel so down...

I just want to frown.

This is how I feel;

aren't I allowed to feel?

Am i not real?

You are real.

This is what her smile tells her.

Use me

This is what her smile tells her.

They don't deserve to see

what I know

just let it go you don't need to let it show.

This is what her smile tells her.

I believe in the power of words. " Sticks and stones break your bones, but words don't hurt me " is such a understatement or atleast it doesn't apply to me. I believe that words can be used for a variety of things including to hurt. I would like to impact people with my words, but instead of to hurt... to entertain to make people smile to brighten someone's day to make one think deeper on things. I aspire to combine my words to be affective on anyone who reads it. I'm barely a poet & I rarely write. I'd like yo change that and share my journey with everyone.
