A smile can hide a million woes
The ones that nobody needs to know
The inner turmoil of your soul
Each day you hide the tears that flow

A smile can hide a million broken dreams
That keeps you awake when you should be asleep
When plans you made are just distant memories
When once the world was at your feet

But that one smile that finally breaks through
The one that sparkles like a precious jewel
The inner light comes through innocent and pure
That smile is your smile, the one that is true.
If you are aiming for my
Attention, then your
Attempts are inconspicuous.
I mean like, nonetheless
So frivolous.
Can't function without a
Bitterness?

A bitterness towards me.
Something I have nothing to
Do with.
So very blunt and so
Rude, coming off as just ruthless.
When the truth is,
You are irrelevant and so foolish.

But it's just fine with me.
Females hold this hurt for
Long.
Can never fathom
The new notes for new songs

That aren't about them, or her,
Or her either.
One to fiddle with love--
Break strings of desire.
All smoke and no
Fire,

It is very okay to cry.
Can't look in my eyes.
Am I that bad, despite
The times you loved my
Lies.
Offered love. Could willingly
Spread your thighs.
But with no surprise,

I disappear, but it's never so
Abrupt.
You push my luck, and suddenly,
I give up, but in no
Rush.

So blunt with no shame.
I honestly must say,

Females swear they hate
Games,
But be begging to get
Played.
Honestly,
How could
Honesty
Ever possibly be the best
Policy
When complications
In democracies
Simply prove we disregard
Philosophies.

To disregard all
Philosophies
Is just another form of our
Self-oppression.
****** tongues spill
Atrocities,
And we disguise it as some sort of
Self-expression.

Are we self-expressed
Or are we fraudulent?
I heard that honesty is
All we crave and yearn.

But that's not the case
Because the truth can hurt.
Just watch honesty hit its
Path and burn.

And with the cash we earn
And clean air we kiss,
You would think we all
Are kinda feeling blessed.

We have reckless flesh
And lack small regrets
Yet expect nothing less
Than restful deaths.

And with restful deaths,
We have veins of steel
That are only melted by
The coldest flames.

And like the bread of life,
We do not share a slice,
Even though the end ensures
We give back grains.

So I suppose we're selfish,
In a sense sometimes.
Say, simply
Sincerely
Sinister.

We're here on earth
As just visitors, all
Sealing life with
Cheap signatures.
Expected with lateness,
Destined for greatness.
My flavors are true,
So I hope you can taste this.

Live as a winner,
But roses do wither.
Was born in the winter,
I'll die with a shiver.
