And I know it’s hard to sift
Hard to tell
the real from the bullshit.
But drop the smiling mask,
your words aren’t as
beguiling when you act.
And get off the stage,
You’re not even an actor
…this is coming out all wrong,
I am saying it all backward.
Because really I just want
you to open trusting eyes
it will help you peel off
the disguises
of those who adore you
for what you do
and shine through
the ones who love you
for who you are.

This one makes me uncomfortable.
Don't misunderstand-- i like it very much, very much. It makes me feel very... vulnerable, i guess you could say. i don't know if that makes any sense.
Thanks, my bellevue buddy... I tend to just chuck down poems I write without editing or making any kind of attempt at using structure to guide the poem. So if I change em up a bit... its because I go back to read em and say "what the hell was i thinking". and sometimes delete them. Or maneuver lines, punctuation, and stanzas... glad to have you reading :)
