This a short poem I came up with. I'm not a descriptive person. I prefer just simple words in poems. This deals with the term, "Looking behind the smile." This is inspired door a friend and mine's life experiences. Enjoy :)
Gone: a poem
She sat alone
in the corner of the room.
She didn't speak
she would merely loom.
Like she was a shadow
an invisible ghost.
No one gave
a damn at the most.
She would sit there
and simply stare
looking at those
who ignored her.
No one looked
at her twice
no one bothered
when she was nice.
She was a nobody,
forgotten door all.
Her ever-blank stares
directed at the bare, empty wall.
But she WAS somebody
with a tragic past.
Except she didn't parade it around
like a ship's mast.
She was a girl
who actually cared a lot.
Except no one knew her.
So who would've thought?
That was until,
that fateful night
when she decided to
blow out the light.
The girl was gone.
Faded into the mist.
Then they finally noticed
the scars they missed
Tears were shed
memories were spared.
They started being friendly
and then they cared.
Speaking how could've had made a link
Then someone said:
"A little late, don't u think?"
Do u have a friend who acts too cheery? Who knows what they may be hiding.
Anyways, I hope u liked this. It's simple, I know. But that's just how I roll :) Anyways, leave your feedback. I appreciate constructive criticism and whatnot. Thank u for reading.

Because I'm too lazy to type it again. :P I wrote this poem because I just graduated a school and it's really sad, and I do not like the idea of leaving all of my friends. I know that there are a few that I'll never see again. So I kind of vented about it through this poem. I hope it's good. Hgfan5602 is such an inspiration, so this is pretty much dedicated to them. I've always stunk at poems, and I haven't written one in ages, so I hope this will suffice as a decent piece of poetry.
