Smiler

Smiler;
What do we know about Smiler?
She smiles.
As the wind whips her face, she smiles;
As the grim thin thoughts of loneliness curdle her brain, she smiles them away;
Smiler no-mates walks with a mask etched on by torment
Only guessed at,
The dowdy one at school,
The one left out,
The one stabbed with words by the sheep-brained stiletto mob -
Smiler! I catch myself thinking, there’s a beautiful person in there,
Sunshine and smiles and warm cuddles,
The bastards have gone away,
You’re free now! Drop the mask!
But Smiler is too scared, and the bastards have won,
The shallow-eyed suburban wretches who retched out the vomit of their minds on this poor girl -
I wish all of them to hell.
Smiler the Strong One,
Smiler the Thoughtful One,
Smiler who can’t, won’t let go.
