Smile and wave.
be kind, be something.
it won't help
standing there solely
as they walk on by.
hand on your back..
'your not alone,
not empty
in crowded spaces.'
i nod.
we walk in
uncomfortable places.
i grin
and desperately hope
they are happy.
please
don't become
what i despise
in myself.
lying in dust.
shake off the guilt
and cry
in front of public eyes.
they'll stare
because we all know
exactly
what it's like.
but maybe
you don't want to
realize.
continue to act.
play the part.
we all go round
striving to believe
in our own smiles
and lies.

Maybe you write about the same kinds of things, but you do it brilliantly. Thanks for entering this in my contest. I loved it.

i loved the poem,
and dolly even if you did
write about the same thing
it is always in a new way and that is what counts
great poem yet again, and much love,
endless-lover -
this was good although i think you could have added more detail to it. I did enjoy reading it and the image it gave was well done.
thank you for entering and good luck in the contest -
EVERYONE has a common theme in their own writing. it just happens.
