Broken

Fake smiles go for miles
Nobody can see all the pain behind them
But in the night
She loses the fight
Her friends have left
It might be her death
Already the next day
Her fake smile is on display

Kayla, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you so much for your long and thoughtful comment! I appreciate it. If you ever want to critique anything I post, feel free! I always like to improve my work! I'm not quite sure what my poetic skills are. I'm a bit of a mediocre writer actually!
