Sorrow-filled smiles

does this problem ever end

there are broken things that i cant mend

maybe i should just pretend

that i can fix this up

 

worrying is no aid

it leaves a bigger problem to maid

but i can't listen to what people say

if i do the pain wont stop

 

yet again i go through another day

pretending it;'s all ok

playing this game i don't want to play

wishing for my dreams to come true

 

sad faces behind a smiling mask

wishing the problem will not last

soon my problems i will cast

far away to God

 

but until that time

i sit, waiting for a sign

hoping this burden of mine

will dissipate to dust

Reviews

[Jonathan Bodnar]

I liked this poem, though, I thought in some places it was a bit weak. I particularly liked the first stanza.

[Tina Kline]

A kind of sad poem but one I can understand. I feel there is fustration in it as well. It is well written and very easy to read. It flows right along well and takes the reader along with it.
