Smile

By WinglessFaith

Not allowed to be unhappy
Not allowed to feel crappy
The child must persist
They need her to exist
For if we admit she is real 
Then we must deal with all she feels
Find a reason to put on a smile
With your sadness this moment do not defile 
No one cares for the frown on her face 
With a childish grin it they would replace 
Why for them should I roll out this lie
And my own lack of joy deny

  • A former member wrote: I can relate to this, sadly. :/ Its so simple to overlook pain, and when it becomes to much, even easier to say 'we had no idea'.

  • A former member wrote: Smiles are simply easy on the eyes. Frowns are so easy to ignore.

  • A former member wrote: This poem is so relatable on so many levels. I really like it. Short but to the point and very infeuential. It's nice to know there's people out there who feel the same as you who are able to read and comment without needless critisism. I look forward to your next poem. =)
