When You Were Silent Poem by DAVID GERARDINO

When You Were Silent

Rating: 5.0


WHEN you were silent, you became
like a flower, so honest, so true,
so beatiful, then you put on your
make up, and disapeard into this
cold, and plastic world.
WHEN you cried, your inner child
came out fighting like a boxer,
only to be knucked down, from
the meanness of this cold, and plastic world.
STILL you fight,
still you laugh,
still you love,
and paint by numbers...
but the lesson is never forgotten.....
not even once.
