wow. this was very well written. i loved it. yay bus people!

Loved it! i often feel that people put on acts- to make them selves look good, or strong, or whatever. Liked the way you put in all the possibilities, of different sorts of things people hide.

I really enjoyed this poem, it's very real. People may be churning with pain on the inside, but due to society's obligations, they are forced to paint on a fake smiel every day, and never have the chance to just release all of those negative feelings. Unfortunately, that is what the world expects. Beautifully written, I love raw poems like this. Wonderful work, can't wait to see what else you write!

interesting. i see the one as my family. my biological mother is an alcoholic and she would take us on bus- us as in my brother and i. so i see that mother with two children as my mother- the drunk, divorced, broken woman that no one understands.
