No One Saw Pain

Everyone Saw Beauty No one Saw Pain

An adolescent sits lonely
her cries unheard to all.
Silence has become her destiny
Heaven answering her call

She lived a life imprisoned
never knowing the feeling of being free.
never learned it on her own
life would never be easy.

Her prayers never seemed to be answered
He wishes fell from the stars.
Her dreams shattered into a million pieces
Her fantasies floated afar.

Her endless tears that showered
The angry thunders that came.
The rushing frustration hidden within her
The disguise of a familiar name.

The smile she used to hide it all
The laughter that seemed so real.
The distress lived on and on
The pain is all she could feel.

Her yearning for attention
Her wanting for some love.
Her earnest requests to the lord
her benediction to the Heavens above.

Her faith was so strong
her vibrancy filled the room.
Her life was a lie
and the truth sent her to the tomb.

Then finally it was all revealed
and the world finally knew
that her life was never near perfect
so much that she went through.

That jubilant little angel
That everyone seemed to believe
Now lay in her coffin
with satin rosebuds steamed with
bold emerald leaves

The priest dressed in black
the darkness all around
the pouring of the rain
weeping the only sound

In the name of the father and son
she's last blessed
all those who knew her
payed their last respects

They take one last look
her casket is shut
the priest says amen,
and closes the little black book

Now silence has become golden
so much is heard and felt through the air
their tears became rain showers
thunder their despair.

And all those that who love her
shocked and surprised
they never knew
only know do they realize.

All the sunshine
covered with tears of rain
*Everyone Saw Beauty
No One Saw Pain*

    This is a good piece about how some lives seem perfect when they really aren't. All is in the art of hiding and pretending. Good job. Thank you for entering and good luck.
