The reason I live.
Just something I had to write for a course, but I wanted an opinion on it so I figured I would post it here. I used to write a lot of poetry but have fallen out of it due to a tight schedule. Just a short Shakespearean sonnet. Please give me some pointers I love feedback. Sorry if you find this to be utter garbage, I personally do a bit, but like I said wanted a second opinion.
Another day, just put on a smile.
Make a joke to keep up appearances.
Just have to be strong for a little while.
Drown myself in music; long distances.
Put on a show, false wit on the forefront.
Giggle, laugh; enough to dispel questions.
Look internally; problems to confront.
Wipe away a tear and accusations.
Sigh as I stand here; thoughts lost in a haze.
Looking for some sign of purpose in life.
Thoughts drift to you and my heart set ablaze.
Remember why I fight through pain and strife.
A real smile forms. First in a long time.
Throw off the rags of grief. The real me shines.
