The Greatest Life by LinzAy

She's not like all the others
She's not like all the rest
She's not what everyone thinks
She's not what you'd have guessed

She doesn't have a perfect life
It's actually worse than you'd expect
She puts on an act so good
It's a lie she's even starting to accept

She may seem happier than ever
She may have a smile as bright as the sun
But inside she cries, inside she dies
Inside she's always on the run

She's never really had a true friend
She's never had stability
She's never known true love
Not even from her family

She's never gotten what she's wanted
Not even the smallest thing
She's always felt herself dieing
And never truly living

She's not like all the others
She's never given up
She's been forever optimistic
Staring at her half full cup

She's not like all the rest
She keeps giving to life no matter how much it takes
And she'll sit and smile or laugh
At her most stupid mistakes

She's not what everyone thinks
She's the exact opposite
Neither happy or content
Yet she deals with it

She's not what you'd expect
She's always full of little surprises
She'd rather others have happiness
No matter how much of her own it comprimises

She's the greatest thing in the world
She's just not yet recognized
She's the greatest thing in the world
Without the greatest life

Great Poem
we think that many people can realte to this poem, we just find it awkward that you made it seem like she was happy with her life even though it wasnt romoatly the best.. but we still enjoyed reading and we hope that you write more....

Brenda & Ev!
hey guys! Glad you enjoyed reading this one. I guess the reason i had it seem as though she were happy with her less than mediocre life is because i guess a lot of people don't think they have the life they could yet they continue to have a good time and smile. Or at least over here it's been like that sometimes. Luv U Guys!
