Smile
January 11, 2016
Her heart is a boat,
the vessel of hope
Her dreams are colorful,
epitome of creativity
Her eyes held secrets,
behind curtains of doubt
When she smiled,
the whole world fell aparth
Perfection at whole,
but humbleness weathered into doubt
Even though she was slowly breaking inside,
she pretended to remain unbent
Her thoughts were disheveled and unkempt,
you'd never tell
because the girl behind the unfaltering smile,
was an expert at pretend

My inspiration for this piece is unknown, I guess it could be about myself, but believe me, I am farfetched from perfect! I guess it's more about all the people out there, that don't believe me when I say they're beautiful, and for all the people that don't believe it.
