PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’ve got a contagious laugh, endearing smile

Behind the empty frames, a sparkle in my eyes

But I can’t reveal what’s underneath

Beneath this curtain of not-quite-lies



I’ve let you in, to an extent

Just understand my resistance

You say this air doesn’t hide anything,

but I know

I’m less fucked up from a distance



I shift away from the group

Though it’s snowing, and I’m shaking

Too cold to put my foot down, stomp it out

And my inner earth is quaking



I’m not sure I believe what you say

Just understand my resistance

I’m not the person you think I am

and I know

I’m less fucked up from a distance
