Smiling faces


Look at them holding hands,

smiling and happy.

Are they really?

Why can't I find happiness such as that?

Look at them, its sickening.

Why are you so happy and filled with joy?

How can I get a piece of that action?

My energy is sapped from asking these questions.

Shut up.

Look away.

Want,

Crave.

Bites lips and drunkenly dream.

I cannot make a love poem since I have 

never been in love.

The words I write are written down as if

finale.

I am a Sophomore at Miami Dade College. I love the beautiful outdoors, baby animals are so adorable. And writing for me is a gateway to letting out my frustrations, joys and happiness in life. Granted, I'm not much of a poet I find this could be a great outlet for me. It's been a wonderful year and college experience. I hope and wish I learn more about the beautiful world around me.
