What Lies Inside

SweetOdodoGrass43

I suppose the air should feel graceful

That pedestal of light

To feel the joy wafting from loved ones

Yet the falseness of this smile corrupts my heart

I gasp in sudden reminiscing 

-The embarrassment of it all

Can I be so shallow?

Can I be so selfish t believe it is all about me

Reminded of the people with less

Gratitude must be my emotion

-But the feelings of being incomplete still permeate

The uncomfortable incessant laughing

How long has this been hiding inside?

How long has it lied inside?

-But yet- Gratitude is what I should feel

    I read this twice but there are too many big words.I didn't understand any of it.

      Sorry, I tend to overwrite (diffidently my worst writing trait)/ I was saying that there is happiness around me and there is shame in not being happy when it seems like everything is perfect. I also played on the phrase "You should be grateful, there are others that don't have -Blank- or -so and so-"

      All it is that there seems to be perfection around and that you still feel sadness in denying you aren't happy or don't want this.
