I know it's been a while since I've been here. The last time I tried to come here, the site (or my computer.. heh) was messed up and it wouldn't work. I'm back, at least temporarily. It all depends on my amount of free time. Anyway, here's the poem.

Looking in the mirror,
I see that I am faceless
To the people of this world.

People on the street pass by
Without a second glance.
They don't even notice

On the bench sits a faceless boy
Whose tearless eyes simply stare.
No, the world could not care less.

They have become immune to pain,
And love, joy, fear, happiness;
They do not truly live.

Hate and greed consume them,
Their lives no longer their own,
Nor are they worth living.

Tell me, which is worse;
A boy without a face,
Or a world without a heart?

*TiMMYBoY*
Yeah, that's me. The Weird One.

You have posed an important question at the end of this. I personally think the boy without a face would be worse than a world with no heart. The world already has no heart. The opinion of ones self is much more important the well being of the world.
Some lines I really enjoyed were,
"Hate and greed consume them,
Their lives no longer their own,
Nor are they worth living."

and

"On the bench sits a faceless boy
Whose tearless eyes simply stare.
No, the world could not care less."

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Good work.

Awesome ending.
It really wrapped up the whole poem wonderfully!
Thanks for the read!

You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.
