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