Sometimes: A Poem
My smile shows I’m happy
You fell for it, right?
Look no further than my lips
For inside the demons fight.
My laugh shows I’m happy
You laughed along, too.
Music to your ears
but to me, it’s out of tune.
My wit shows I’m happy
Just me and my jokester ways.
Wacky character impersonations
Get me by, most days.
My smile shows I’m happy.
My laugh shows I’m happy.
My wit shows I’m happy.
Sometimes it isn’t so.
Sometimes my heart says no.
Sometimes full of woe.
Sometimes...

Looks can be deceptive! This quote has whole new perspective with the pain- smeared poem you have here.... all these lines... so simple yet so painful... so morose...
Sad but beautiful!
