A Serious Face...Good?

Nafis Light

A man came to me earlier today
because I looked unfocused and not serious
and to him, that is a person who has lost his way
fooling around...and around.

 

I was merely having my lunch
and I would rather have a curious face that smiles;
Besides, people did say they were scared of my serious face
and maybe I looked like I was gonna give a punch...yeah, a punch.

 

The conversation ended with him telling me to not get involved with drug kids;
Seriously...I am quite capable in regards to my own safety;
Guess he already made quite the impression about me
and a serious face means 'better'?...I prefer 'funny'.

    We might look serious when we are focusing or concentrating on something. We might appear grumpy or moody then!

    I'm confused! Have you lost your way.... I very much doubt that. Maybe this dude you met was trying some sort of a line on you. Plenty strange people about... beware lol.

    A compelling read.

      I was at a restaurant for lunch, and that man came to me. After hearing him out, he said that I don't look focused...not serious at all. To him, when a person has a serious face...he has plans, directions, and everything. Since I did not show that kind of face, it's like there's something wrong with me and I don't have any of that.

      I had things to do before that and I had already done them, and so I was just relaxing at that restaurant.

      After that, I was like "Okay, I gotta show a serious face or people will think of me the same way that man did."
      Well, didn't work...something was just not right with that.
