    How Sad....

    How sad-
    A pretty face that shows its pain.
    Why arent you happy?
    Such a pretty face-
    Why dont you smile for me?
    Long fair hair,
    Deep pain encrusted in those big empty green eyes.
    How sad-
    A little girl who always got what she wanted.
    Yet still doesnt understand what she wants.
    Why arent you satisfied?
    Why do you ruin yourself with a frown.
    Why dont you smile for me?
    How sad
    Your so much prettier when you do...

    "Deep pain encrusted in those big empty green eyes. How sad-" such a beautifully, poetically, painful line. Your honesty is wonderful! Bravo!!

    chalkout, This poem is so real. A forced smile will get no one anywhere and this poem mocks that pretty girl face farce because she smiles. 10 from me. ginga

    Hahahah don't you hate that shit? They'd rather have you smile so they do'nt have to be responsible in knowing your pain. Cover it up. Bury it down. Overlook it. Ha. And when it eats one alive until they jump off a bridge, the dumbasses are gonna look and say -oh wow why'd he do that??- hahah. I like how this poem shoots sarcasm back at the sarcasm. I grin and nod with acceptance at this piece......

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
