Walks a hidden valley
Sees an empty thought
Reveals a lonely life.
Makes a bright smile
Laughs a joyful sound
Reveals a sweetened life.
Runs with chains held tight
Screams of terror at night
Reveals a frightened life.
Looks without seeing
Laughs without joy
Yells without reason
He reveals a simple thought.

I wrote this last year during my 7th grade English. I was so bored, so I took out my pen and wrote something in my notebook. I hope it will bring out some thoughts of yours!

Beautiful! I love the shortness of the lines, their bare-bonedness.
