Ashley Wilson Poems

To laugh often and much; carefree;
To win the respect of the intellectuals in society
And the affection of children; however direct or discrete;
To earn the appreciation of an honest review
...

She fades into the black of the shadows
Remaining only as a whisper in time
Hiding the pain deep inside her
The star that's refusing to shine
...

You walk into school everyday
And pretend that everything's okay
But inside you're dying
When I look into your eyes
...
