My Broken Smile

Published October 12, 2011

My smile is not real anymore.
I only smile when I am forced too,
This has changed because you've broken my smile.
This smile has been cracked and bruised, all because of you.
If I smile i can feel my heart break even more than it already has.
If this broken smile cant be fixed you now know why.

I haven't seen you around either. Hello :D

Okay, firstly, the theme is a nice one, but I think it could use a little more impact. Not in the words,but in the arranging of the stanzas.
Also, a few nitpicks. Nothing major.

If I smile i (Capital 'I') can feel my heart break even more than it already has.

Overall,I really liked this! It relates to both your personal life and the world which we have to hide our feelings in.
I thought the poem was nice and flowed smoothly. And I agree with dasiamari, the font might put people off, it's too flashy. The black font rule is a lax one, but it really would look better in black.

-Keep Writing! :D

Okay so over all You should put this in regular font size and colour because as soon as I saw it I was like "I don't wanna read it!" But I did and I kind of liked it :P
