Smile When Your Alone

Staring at a girl,
with tears in her eyes.
It looks like me,
but isnt who i am.
Same green dress,
same brown eyes,
but the girl i see,
isnt me.
She fakes a smile,
and tags along,
then she breaks down and cries,
when they're gone.
Cry little girl cry,
i'll cry with you,
No wait! I am you.
So i guess i'm crying alone tonight.
She locks herself in her room,
and grabs a pen.
She opens her heart,
and writes a song.
It's short but sweet,
sad but mellow,
and makes her smile by the final line.
"Smile when your alone."

My inspiration for this poem came from myself and realizing that if you never smile when your alone, you'll never be satisfyed with your own happiness.
