Beneath the smiles
Between the hugs
It's all hollow
Nothing is real
When surrounded with statues
Flesh is their make up
Concrete their soul
Unaware of lies
They drag innocent under
Until they become lifeless
Victims of lies are silent
For spoken words
Dig them lower into pain
But to keep in oneself
Worsens the wounds
No options
No escape
Just sit and wait
Maybe statues will fall
Perhaps lies will dissolve
And victims will be no longer
Author notes
I am a freshman in college. I wrote this on my cell phone while waiting to go to some freshman snowball dance. I have this group of "friends" some of them our actually good friends but the majority of them, mainly the girls, were once friends of mine and have refused to acknowledge my existance anymore. If anything I would get a monosyllabic unenthusiastic salutation and then will be ignored for the rest of the night. I wrote this while watching my "friends" be oh so friendly and happy to see my actual friends and they didn't even give me the time of day. It kind of makes me sick that people treat others this way. They were so friendly to me in the beginning of the year. I don't quite understand why they started to ignore me. Maybe they got bored with me and cast me aside like an old toy from an innocent child. What bothers me the most is they don't realize theyre doing it.

This is kinda sad, but not as dark as I would have liked.
Thanks for entering my challenge and good luck.

Awww you kinda made me give up hope...
. No just kidding, but seriously this one is terribly sad and haunting also, because it just shows that everything is really worth nothing in the end. I thought like this when I was depressed.
