    Fake Smiles

    The fall of night starts it again
    Finally out looking for a friend
    Some are found but are they true
    They don’t even speak to you
    Strange and familiar faces all around
    Pointless talk is the only sound
    People leave and then you follow
    Hopes for the night have become so hollow
    Back in the crowd, yet all alone
    Inside you ace and moan
    Drifting for the crowds edge
    Inside your head you’re at a ledge
    You see a smile and reflect one back
    Emotion is what yours dose lack
    That smile wasn’t meant for you
    Another mistake but that you already knew
    Empty smiles hurt so much
    In your pocket your fist does clutch
    Still pretending and wearing that smile
    Inside you hurt and your faces lie feels vial
    On the sidelines your fake smile shows
    Will it catch someone eye, who really knows?
    Alone again you walk away
    A wasted smile, a wasted day

    This was excellent. Great job

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
