A non-rhyming free verse poem. Editor's Pick

The smile of sadness
lies against the flesh,
marking its truth
through its fears.

Hidden behind the skin,
no one knows
the beautiful feeling
that lives no more.

Through the empty stares,
so numb, so numb,
pretend reactions are made—
the smile of sadness.
