I Smile

by ShadowDancer   Oct 3, 2005


I smile
But inside I cry
What is the point of this?
I wonder

My mind screams
at the loneliness around me
but still I smile

My mind's eye sheds tear after tear
at the hopelessness of it all
but still I smile

The world is being consumed
by darkness

Yet my smile stays.

    I scrolled right down to see your very first poem, having read a couple of crackers. You have come a long way since this, but this is far from being poor. It just doesn't have a very good flow to it, despite sending a clear message in very few words.

    Nice, not too deep - but not at all shallow. The words were well chosen. I thought I'd comment on your poem you submitted first, because rarely anyone comments on my oldest poems, and it's nice when you get the odd comment on a poem even you haven't read for a while! Great work - you have improved a lot from this piece, though thats not to say this piece is in any way, shape or form bad!

    Peace. [Sole]
