The Woman That Was

Forgotten by all, lost and lonely

She became invisible and unseen

 People would look right through her

But not hear her silent screams

They talked to her, they passed her by

But failed to see her tears

They talked of all the comforts she had

Yet never noticed her fears

So she donned a mask that always smiled

And hid all that she really had been

She retreated deep down in herself

And the real “Her” was never again to be seen

I really enjoyed this poem, and I’m looking forward to reading more of your pieces. I'm kind of new on here and it would be an honor if you can review my 4 new recent poems. (The world is ours, Nostalgia, Paradise, and You)

Thank you and Keep up the Good work!

This is a great poem! I've read many poems on here and the majority of them are long. However, this one shows that you can have a short poem that is meaningful. I really appreciate how you put quality over quantity with this piece.
