internal conversations

[lucidnightmares]

what is missing?
a smile hides more than it shows
a shinning beacon for friends and strangers
but beneath those lips are jagged teeth
hateful, aggressive, longing for sorrow
a danger to all, but contained by nothing more than fear
afraid to show your self, why?
rejection, pity, despair, regret...

black
your soul seems empty, if you even have one
you don`t know, anything at all
wish you did didn`t you?

look at them, smiling
i hate it
i wonder why
i do not wish to know
does that make a monster?

i hate that man
he stares at me with his blank face
every day i wish to see someone else
he doesn`t know he`s a terrible disgrace
but he never lets up
always there to haunt me
surrounded by his glass cell
i wish he``d stay there

Yes, those internal conversations can be fierce, can't they? As Yeats wrote:





Out of our quarrels with others we make rhetoric.
Out of our quarrels with ourselves we make poetry.

[Pendragon]

Indeed, a smile can mean many things... :thumbs_up
