 | Keep Smiling
by Mark Osborne  /  poetry  /  6 Apr 2009
Life is difficult I am nothing but my mouth An inconceivable concept,
yet you believe People know me through word People know me through smile
People know me through laugh
Yet, I am not my mouth I am nothing You
know nothing
People torture me, And throughout torture, I grin I laugh
at you because you let me
I am empty, yet you think of me full...
Mouths tend to delude us all A world full of smiling liars
I smile as
I write this, thinking of the past In the end, my smile is there to
deceive myself What a difficult task! May my smile one day work...
I
suppose this smile is simply broken?
