Before we begin the poem,
I have one thing to say.
Never forget this,
Never be fooled by a smile,
As a persons head turns away.
Because the grass is always greener,
On the other side.
People never choose to reveal,
What they live to hide.


What makes you cry,
My dear friend?
When inside of you,
Did this saddness begin?
Was it always there,
But never shown through.
Or am i oblivious,
To the messages being sent by you?
I always thought you were happy,
Care free and living life.
I never thought so many tears,
Fell in the night.
Please dont let me see,
A vision of myself in you.
Your suppose to be the stronger half,
Im the one whose meant to be blue.
I'd do anything,
Just to heal your pain.
I guess no one can decode,
Your crying in vain.
You hide it all so well,
Everyone thinks your lucky you know.
But you tricked us all,
You allowed so little of you to show.
But i saw through you,
Being your best friend.
I saw whats inside of you,
And that unhappy trend.

This is good, I like how the first stanza prepared the reader for the rest of the poem.  However, you seem to have trouble with the homynym "your" and "you're."  Take a look at this.

Quite the sad one....but very good.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This was a good poem.  I really like the way you began "Before I begin the poem..."  Nice work.  I enjoyed this.

This one was excellent.  I know what you are talking about.  Sometimes, you ask to see a part of people that you really dont want to, or they want to see a part of you.  Well, anyways, great poem!

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

I can relate a lot to your poem because often people try to look to me to be happy  to keep them happy and it's hard.I'm not aloud to be sad or angry and just once I wish people could see that.But anyway this is a great peom and keep up the awsome work!

Thank you all so much for your replies!!    

Lauren--A lot of times i too feel that i cant have problems or be sad about it...i just get told "oh get over it" and my problems are immediately minimized. Dont worry gurl ur not alone..and u can ALWAYS talk to me  

Allan--thanks for pointing that out to me but honestly i dont really care about grammar...i write how i write and it just flows...perfection does not exist in anything..why make an acception for poems?? But thank you for pointing that out  

And thanks everyone else whose related to this or has read it!! Im glad you all liked it!!

<3 Michele
