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.
