Understanding.

Hey everyone! It's Amanda! This is a poem I made in my english class! Please tell me what you think!

How can you smile

When you feel so unhappy

Is it a sign

That you're in denial?

How can you smile

When everything before

Your eyes

Would make you want to cry?

But you just stand there

A movie of hate playing before

Your Gleaming eyes

My voice screaming at you

Why Why Why!

How can you feel anything but

Hate, anger, and sadness?

Errupting within you

Only a million times harder than this?

Minutes pass

Another thing gone

And you finally hear

My agonizing song.

Tears choke between my eyes

Streaming down

Along with my cries.

And you begin to chime

"Life is what gets us all, but as long as you stand tall, you can make it. Memories are the ones that stay, no matter the price we pay. Why are you crying? Because you lost it all? But in reality, the enemies will be the ones to fall. But remember, you still have me, and the memories we were cherishing."

And that's when I understood the meaning of life.
