Fake Smile
4 December, 2000
Author: Seizure
Putting up a smile
Showing ones who care
He wants to show the world
Why life's not fair
He tries to forget it all
But he feels only pain
Reaching for his pills
He is no longer sane
Acting like he's happy
No one suspects a thing
So he is never asked
Why he's suffering
Angered by the world
Angered by his friend
In the story of his life
He made it to the end

| Erin () -- Wednesday, December 31 1969, 08:00 pm Wow. I read this and felt like crying. It's so unfortunate to see that some people's lives seem so horrible, and unloving. I don't know if this was about you, but if it was, that is incredible that you were able to put such emotion into your words. You are a truely talented person and I hope that you continue to write well into your life. Very nicely done. |

| Eddie (64.12.97.11) -- Monday, July 14 2003, 05:22 am I really connected with this poem. I know how you it feels. I wish it doesn't end like that.

| KJP (67.112.79.23) -- Saturday, January 31 2004, 08:09 am I know how everyone has already says it relates to them but I just have to say it too because I've always had to do it. I never want anyone to see how week I really am. Everyone sees my as strong but inside I'm really not. So I just act like everything is alright when my life is actually really hard to bare sometimes. |
