The Boy With Nails in his Eyes
the boy with nails in his eyes
wants to love and wants to live
but he knows he hurts whoever comes close
the nails making them scream and run
he knows he's alone and he cries
but the tears make the nails rust
and they always hurt so much more
so he just feigns happyness and smiles.
he lives alone in his house on a hill
waiting to smile when he tries to cry
and he always keeps himself busy
painting his house horrible shades of colours.

awww... I don't know who you are, but this poem almost made me cry. It was so effective, and where on earth did you get inspiration for this??? Just a couple of things that interrupted the flow just a little: the word happiness is spelt with an i, not a y, and the last line of the piece somehow seemed ill-fitting to me. I dont know what it is, but mabye it just seemed a sudden end, or it was too long in comparison, or something. Sorry, I cant pick it. But anyway, I loved the poem, you write with a unique sadness, but still beautiful. If beautiful sadness is possible. Lol
thanks
haha, a beautiful sadness is always possible. thanks for correcting my spelling, and i'll try to fix up the last line in the poem =] thanks very much.
