The silent worker is in pain
Only her eyes explain
Though you do not see it
Though she keeps it secret
Pushes herself toward the edge
Falling over a secret ledge
You don't want her to fall
You don't want her to die
But there's nothing you can do
And you don't know why
She won't fall to the depths
She's more powerful death
She covers up by lying
No one knows that she's been crying
You won't even see her sighing
For she's too strong to be dying
While her mask is out there beaming
There's a girl behind it screaming
But at night under the bedding
All those tears that she is shedding
Facing her problems all alone
Because it's all she's ever known
She's stronger than the rest of us
Just working through the syllabus
She's stronger than us all
She's never going to fall
The silent worker is in pain
Only her eyes explain
It's an interesting poem. Keep writing, it seems you have great potential. Keep it up! If you ever want critical feedback, I can help with that. (I feel hesitant giving any unless specifically requested.)
ReplyDeleteThank you. And I am completely open to any feedback. Good or bad. I always appreciate when people point out my mistakes. After all, without mistakes there would be no opportunities to get better. Right?
