Demoralized

The guilt of a smile
The hidden scars I bare
Feeling all lost
You have nothing to compare.

A laugh seems strange
As it falls from my lips
All dusty and bizarre
Even to myself

Guilty as sin
Convicted more than once
The feeling of life
Is an unfamiliar touch

This is a nice flowing poem. I like how the first stanza starts with the alternating rhyme. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Great job! Joseph
