Perfect life

By ~Stay_Beautiful~20104 • July 10, 2009 05:06 UTC

Late one night, I just couldn't sleep. For I was too busy, With a silent weep. Many a tears, Upon my pillow I shed. As I lie in darkness, Upon my bed. There's just to much wrong, With the world today. If this is all that it offers, It seems then why stay? There's just so much pain, Hurt, and tears. Steadily growing, Over the years. I cry because it hurts, I cry because I care. I cry for many reasons, And emptiness that's there. No one to talk to, No one to understand. No one knows, What's dealt into my hand. The pain I go through, Is just a hidden joke. "Your life is perfect" Are the words that are spoke. Because no one knows, That this isn't the first time, I've cried myself to sleep, Over this life that's mine.

Sometimes people see the outside and forget there is an emotion being within. the surface may be appearing calm and serene and all seems well with the world, but a storm going on inside us. It is always good thing to remember the person within each other. Great work you have written here.I enjoy reading your poetry! God Bless You! Glostarg

Everyone has pain, it's silly and ignorant to assume someone has a "perfect life". This is really well written.
