    Dont think me a happy person

    I am no saint

    I have scares that define my flaws

    I try to be a man of Honor

    I try to stay positive

    But it’s hard when I find companionship in the night

    Without intending to give more than my body to the night

    This makes me a Villain to the women who bring me pleasure  

    Does this dishonor my name

    I smile

    But the pain of my past

    Silently consumes my Heart

    Only revealing its self when another gets to close

    Or gets to know my Heart

    Can a women Love someone in so many pieces

    Spread over the course of years and places

    What I am

    Is just another ordinary guy

    There’s nothing special or different about me

    When it comes to the matters that mean the most

    To a women

    Hence I am without wife or child

    I’m of my own accord

    And this is my fate

    So please don’t think me a happy person

    Until you’ve gotten to know

    The real me

    -Fin-

    Great poem, I can truly identify with the fact that people often assume I am happy as a clam. I guess I hide it all very well. Good write keep iy up!

    thx for the feed back!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
