Sadness hidden is not happiness
The rotten smile hides a hurting heart
Eyes bright with cheer hide the darkness behind
And lies keep the light from being found
Troubles beaten are not gone
But hiding in my soul
Like monsters in the darkest night
Waiting to devour me whole

I don’t know why, but this gives me “where the wild things are” imagery. Love the little picture it painted for me. Thank you
you got me with that, profound
first line..
such a relatable, outing
of poisonous truth's..
that most of us, sadly
feel like we need to keep
repressed
just for us to survive..
yet, only by facing them
and acknowledging
their corruptive influence
do we have any chance
of experiencing
all the gifts, in our lives...
(I read and learn
thank you! dear brave Poet)
really liked the poem, the last line with ' waiting to devour me whole' really got me. the darkness is a sad place and it wants to devour you.
