Beneath

By crystalynelle84

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

To pose and smile is easy, Carelessly shelving true feeling. Placid, stoic, emotionless What do you feel? Anger?  Hatred?  Loathing? Pulsing through your veins – Captive within your mind – Never will show – Until out of sight costumes come off, And an explosion of sobs erupts. Slowly, once pressure has returned to safe levels, Stage makeup is cautiously replaced And you pose and smile. Written January 1st, 2001 © on May 26 2001 03:00 PM PST   0 • 10
