    Poem Commentary

    like i said this is more like lyrics than a poem but i hope you enjoy

    FAKE SMILE

    Okay this is more like lyrics but oh well



    You put on a fake smile to hide what’s real.

    Nobody knows how you really feel

    They can’t see beyond the surface

    They can’t see beyond they smile.

     

    You say you fine

    You put on a mighty show

    You smile you walk you keep on the mask to hide the blows

    Nobody sees the pain that’s underneath

    Nobody sees the tears that wanna leak

    Cuz you push em back and keep that smile on your face

     

    Your pretty little, perfect little, plastered smile.

    It hides how you feel

    It hides what you’ve seen

    And nobody knows what is really real.

    They can’t see the crack that’s hidden in your smile

    They can’t see the fire playin in you eyes cuz

     

    You say you’re fine

    You put on a mighty show

    You smile you walk you keep on the mask to hide the blows

    Nobody sees the pain that’s underneath

    Nobody sees the tears wanna leak

    Cuz you push em back and keep that smile on your face

     

    You say you can’t break

    You can’t let any of them know

    That you aren’t the perfect one they think they really know

    So alone you cry you let the tears freely flow

    You break your shield but none of them will ever know.

     

    You say you’re fine

    You put on a mighty show

    You smile you walk you keep on the mask to hid the blows

    Nobody sees the pain that’s underneath

    Nobody sees the tears wanna leak

    Cuz you push em back and keep that smile on your face

    I like the flow-- it would be an excellent song.... The content is pretty cool also... It shows the internal workings that nobody gets to see. Nice job!!

    LadyP, I can relate to this myself... because sometimes you want to keep your feelings to yourself or not burden someone else with your problems... This is good sometimes but not the way you should always behave, because if you don' t let it out and share with someone, you just might explode one day... and no one will know the REAL you. Good poem, raw and real.

    Nice, I hear that one. I know a lot of people can relate to this. Sometimes life s easier when you grin and bear it. But the truth eventually comes out... God bless -Lady P.

    that was exactly what i was talking about. I kinda based this off a friend of mine who is sometimes like that

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
