I’m Not As Happy As You Think I Am

I’m not as happy
as you think I am.
You’re looking at me
upside down.
My smile is actually
a frown.

Worthless commented on I’m Not As Happy As You Think I Am

That's the TRUTH! How can you smile when their ain't nothin to smile about or nothin that makes you happy cuz even for that moment of happiness there's miles and miles of sadness and anger that wears you down so all you can do is frown. I like it! Short and sweet but it tells so much more thru the words you wrote especially after reading some of your other poems...

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
