Young Writers Society

relatable poem. short, but i can still very much relate. it gets tiring putting on a smile but then again…some people either do not notice or do not understand. i’ve personally been doing it for a while…
i suggest a few fixes with the poem (like someone else said, it is too short) but other than that i find it interesting. good job.

I question if people actually mean it when they ask you to show your real feelings.Sometimes,they’ll tell you to stop feeling a certain way because it isn’t “appropriate” and other times they are genuine.But I can see why you would put on a mask.I think many people have gotten used to fake smiles for society and that’s a problem.I hope that you have a fun and cool day and night.

I believe that I can relate to this poem. Anyone could. Sometimes, you just want to keep your feelings to yourself. You believe that some things are better unsaid. You have secrets that you want to keep or just some feelings bottled up. But sometimes, that's not healthy. Sometimes, you just need to spill everything to someone, whether it'd be a friend or a family member.

Anyway, the only flaw I see is how short the poem is. I feel like it should have at least one more stanza. But that's just me. I wish you well on your writing endeavors!
