in vain

 

You were always

That kid

The first to bathe

In what another did

 

That one feeding

When innocense is killed

After telling the unknowing and still believing

That Santa Claus is not real

 

Now you hide

Behind a smile unpolished unkept

Vowed to love

As if the true you has slept

 

But you are still that kid

That one born of a sour heart

Others love you

But others are not your truth smart

 

You have never changed

Still the one getting pleasure from pain

Little do you know

That I know that your smile is in vain

 

after vision

Sounds like a very unhappy child that was mean to others and never changed growing up. Overall a nice, well written poem with good rhyming. Enjoyable to read too.
