What you see

I know.

Madman talking to himself.

One sided conversations,
  that tend to make others cringe.

Spouts of laughter,
  no reason you can see.

Tears falling.
  after a moment of silence.

What you see,
  is not what I am.

It is what I have left.

Jon,

a simply expressed exploration of the depths. it is so so hard to pare something down to the essence of it. Well done my man. Beautifully crafted.

wow. its simple, yet deep. and quite beautifully written. i personally love "madman" poems, and i must say this left me thinking. nicely done.
