Better or Worse

Tue, 11/18/2014 - 13:11 -- mtanner

Pay no attention

To the girl behind the curtain

She’s not real anyway

 

What’s real is what you can see

The smile, the laugh

That look in her eye

 

What was that anyway?

Pain?

But, that’s not like her

Must have been mistaken

 

We don’t show emotion here

Unless it is to smile

Sorrow is a sign of weakness

 

Buck up dear

There’s loads have it worse

But saying that is the same as saying

 

Don’t be happy

Someone might have it better
