Born This Way [A series of poems]

PastThePlastic

I'm trying to see the world

through another set of eyes

trying to see a place

full of sunshine and butterflies.

Trying not to give up

trying to make life worth while

but I've been crying so long

I forgot how to really smile.

Unhappiness consumes me

around you I wear a plastic smile

but in the silence of my own room

it's ok to cry for a while.
