The smile she wears
Empty...
Like the wallets
Of homeless men on the streets
She writes in her journal
Trying desperately to escape
The dreams of yesterday
Nobody can see
The tears she shed
Effortlessly enclosing the drops
That would wet the softest of cheeks
Nobody knows your pain
Darling,
Just think
What doesn't kill you
Almost always
Makes you stronger
No one will ever be able
To understand
What you're withholding
Or what they've
Never had to endure
See life's a test
A race
Nobody will ever
Truly be able to win
So why rush into an abyss
Of nothingness
When you can ride
The hardest of waves
On the roller coaster
That's meant for you
Your voice is not
The background music
That plays in the clubs
It's the one
That gives speeches
The one
That's far from timid
Far from shy
It's the one
That shoots first
Then ask questions later
That smile she wears
Plastered across her face
Is a smile that can concur the universe
A universe that desperately needs concurring
