A beautiful lie

A beautiful lie

A Poem by SarahCortland
"

I was thinking of innocent people who die and how we try to sugar coat our world.

"

 Such a beautiful face

Such a beautiful mind

With a heart laid in pieces

no pieces to find.


Such a beautiful person

Such a beautiful sight

With tears all around us

Giving up without a fight


Such a beautiful thought

Such a beautiful disguise

The world spinning around us

filling our hearts with lies.


Such a beautiful face

Such a beautiful mind

With a body laid in pieces

no pieces to find


Such a terrible person

Such a terrible lie

our world not as beautiful

filled with people who watched her die


Such a beautiful face

Such a beautiful mind

her brilliance always with us

but her life left behind

sorry if there are errors if there are and sometimes I don't use punctuation because i don't like to think of poems and sentances more as just one big things unless i try to use it as a complete thought. Thank you :)

Great flow and your right we do try to sugarcoat things, but something’s (sadly) we have to censor, because a lot of people out there can not handle it. Sometimes it’s better to feel safe and naïve. I myself don’t like to sugar coat thing, but there are a lot of consequences being that. This is not a black and white issue. Anyway great poem.
