bright unknown (a Haiku)

do we REALLY know what's going on, with others, internally?

A Haiku

You don’t know me
Not really. You just might see
someone smiling bright

you might hear a laugh
skipping off my dark surface
inside I am rough

I am scrubbing on
interior surfaces in a
measured tyranny

I agree with you. We are never really able to see what's going on inside other people. Writing however, I find, is a very good way to lift this curtain. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece!
