Underspoken

I'm not much of a poet, more of a novelist. But having a rough day I gave it a try.. Introducing my first free verse poem

Never fitting in

She hides behind the smile

They walk by

She nods and waves

Never fitting in

She hides behind the smile

They push her down

She gets up stronger

Never fitting in

She hides behind the smile

Her boyfriend knows she hurts

Trying to help, he fails

Never fitting in 

She hides behind the smile

She goes home

Family says she is okay

Never fitting in

She hides behind the smile

Her mother drinks

Her father swings

Never fitting in

She hides behind the smile

No friends, no family

No one to talk to

Never fitting in

She hides behind the blade

Reviews

[Matthew Ian Herrawood W]

realised I haven't reviewed you yet so here goes...
Sad And a sadder darker ending. I feel bad for the Boyfriend having been him in the past, its scary. I like this but I think it might flow better if you separate

Never fitting in
she hides behind the smile (and blade)

From all the other lines. for example (in case I'm not clear)

"They walk by
She nods and waves

Never fitting in
She hides behind the smile

They push her down
She gets up stronger

Never fitting in
She hides behind the smile"

apart from that I liked it and the repetitive nature it gave it a quiet nature yet its like your screaming. perhaps screaming on the inside.
great write
