SELF EXPESSION

self expression

my poetry is my way to express myself

my means of holding on to my sanity

I'm tired of living a lie

living behind a facade

to see me and to me and to know me are two different things

as different things as different as the joy of love

and as different as the pain loss brings

when you see me smiling I'm dying on the inside

my smiles hide so many things

too many times my smiles have hidden my tears

my smiles have overcome my fears

but far too many my smiles have hidden the fact that i care

so i pick up the pen and write one letter but this one letter

goes so far that by time I'm done this on letter

expresses me
