The Saddest People

The saddest people are not those who
let their sadness show.

The saddest people,
are the ones that go to school each day with a
smile on their face.
Perfect homework.
And a couple of friends to eat lunch with.

The saddest people,
are the ones who go home,
and say "hi" to their parents.
Talk about their day.
With a great big smile on their face.

The saddest people,
go to their rooms.
Ripping off their smile.
Baring their chest.

The saddest people,
have to hide their secrets well.
Tip toeing through life, defenses raised.
letting in only 4 am.

The saddest people,
walk past you everyday.
Looking like they are floating on air.
Yet fading to dust.
