Arashi Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 I tripped today Fell up the stairs Scraped my knee In front of a girl Just keep smiling Just keep laughing I failed a test today Studied all night for it Missed dinner too Brain just froze Just keep smiling Just keep laughing Spilled my backpack today Papers scattered everywhere Crumpled like my life In the halls for all to see Just keep smiling Just keep laughing We broke up today No explanations at all Words were only written down And passed to me in a note Just keep smiling Just keep laughing I died today Just keep smiling Just keep laughing
purple_shadows Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 It's funny how life is like that sometimes. you put on this facade, smiling and perfect, while inside you're screaming. But that is life, and life goes on, as long as you let it.
Ayshela Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 funny.. i was thinking "isn't it odd how what breaks you isn't the catastrophic, but the endless chipping away of the small things?"
dragonqueen Posted April 6, 2004 Report Posted April 6, 2004 Very true. It's the little things that get you, the little things that reduce one to tears. The poem was well-written, and very real.
