Don'T Smile Comments

Wow. So many folk like to kid themselves that they see nothing 'wrong' in your eyes, because they'd have to do something... I work in a school, & your words give voice to what many students feel: keep it up, Marisol, give us a sense of what it is like, so those of us who love & care can in a part way empathise & know what to do... or be... or just stand alongside & soak up the pain somehow...

wow. this is the best poem i've ever read. because this describes exactly how i feel. this is truly a poem that would make anyone realize what it feels like to be in pain. i pretend to smile everyday, and i've given up on that a long time ago. you are an amazing writer, i hope u keep writing!
