Behind closed doors
hunnie

In the house lives a family,
you used to envy how they used to be,
now fighting and yelling is all you see,
we're different now do you still envy me?

The family's still coping with all the fights,
but they can't stand those lonley nights,
the neighbors don't care they just turn out their lights,
'cause they know the rountine, they've seen all the sights,

Who knows what's in store,
for this family of four,
they don't even look perfect in town anymore,
but that's what goes on behind our closed doors

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.
- Shakespeare

I really like it, but the "But thats what goes on behind colsed doors"  I think the but should be changed to something, not sure what eles would work, but its good!

I am me, And always will be, If you think you can change me, Take a better look cause, I am happy as me!

"they don't even look perfect in town anymore" don't change the ending! Change that line. The ending is fantastic! that line just needs to lead up to it. Otherwise very well written, keep it up. can't wait to read more.

Tell me what you think about being open, about being honest with yourself.

good poem personally i think you might want to take out the "but" in the last line, it would sound good either way. however it is your poem and if you like it the way you have it i think you should keep it that way
