every word that you screamed
every single thing you threw at me
will never break my smile
because you can't break me down,
not on the outside.
im better than this
i can smile longer than anyone else
praying to the one up above
to not crack
and by the end of the day
i know one thing for sure,
i might be crying on the inside
but i'll never let them see me cry
not on the outside.
see, today, im not giving in
you can be the biggest ass you want to
do whatever you want with me
but im not giving in
i refuse to break down
refuse to let my true feelings for you show
because i believe
that this smile,
will keep me alive.

smile sideways and drool a little, they will leave you alone

great job
seems like a lot of emotion

Pretty good job here, it related nicely to the quote, don't worry. Overall, excellent job, but I think it could've been a little more poetic, it could've used some metaphors and symbols. The emotions are very nice though.
Thanks for entering.
Love Always,

I'd say you did a pretty decent job relating the quote to your poem. I used to be really into GC... not so much anymore. That's a really good song, Wounded right? Anyways, nicely done, good luck.
