Rise above the Rumors

Thu, 08/28/2014 - 21:18 -- MaddieK

The day starts with a smile,

hours tick by and words inflict the mind,

that creates a brighter future,

And the grin that beamed dims dully, 

But then grows to a roaring inferno,

That devours the malicious whispers,

And at night you'll see a smile in the sky,

That knows that happiness isn't found,

In the halls with status or splendor,

Its found in a place thats not just skin deep,

A place that can't be bombarded with the weapons,

Of adolescent pride and apathy,

Its a place where the beat of inspiration,

Pumps the dreams to the lips that curve,

And now that smile shines down on them,

From its place among the sanctuary of shining stars.
