Hiding Behind a Smile
You smile
One joke a day
dispensation
empty-eyed smile.
I know what hides,
feelings too strong
to allow free
in daylight hours.
You hide it from everyone
I am watching
I am ready
I am inside.
It will mean nothing to me
if you save the world
only to lose yourself.
Bear it alone?
Pretend. Hide.
I'm in here
I'm inside.
