Faking a Smile

Faking a Smile

A Poem by A.E. Reed
"

Faking a smile to hide the pain.

"

Faking a smile

To hide the pain

The things you don’t know

You say we’re friends

How can you not see?

It’s not really mutual

It’s forced and not fair

But you don’t care because you get what you want

When is it about me?

When can I have a say in it?

Will I ever?

I guess not because

I’m faking a smile

To hide the pain

Of the things you don’t know

Lots of people feel this way and some never stop which makes them more 'robotic' then human. Don't it stop you from being human. Be you and be unique.

faking a smile
to hide pain...the most real of all emotions....
let pain be you silent alibi, dear friend
it asures you that you are alive...
without its existance,
the right to feel wont be the same.

write on! feel on!
