Can't You See The Curtain?
Sometimes I don’t know the difference
Between what I say and what I feel.
I just
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
And nod.
I’m lost in a crowd of people who hear me
But they don’t.
I’m just
Nice
Nice
Nice
Nice.
People like what I say.
What do I say?
Nothing.
My words lack substance.
My smiles lack joy.
My actions lack sentiment.
Sometimes I feel like holding up a sign
That says,
Pull back the curtain
Can’t you see it?
