Arrested Development

.mon cher.

In a smiley face pain

   the one that makes me

Artificially insane

In that vain

   inside of any human

Lies

   a cavalcade of anguish

And fear

   (disconnected and...)

Removed from all seriousness

   i fail to exist in reality

So I succeed in describing

   all that i lack

And what's more

    i never thought i'd care

This much

    some folk are worth this

Putting on a smiley face

    in pain

That's amore

    and it frightens me

Deeply

That's quite a love poem there Bloody. :-)
Very nice. I think I feel like that a lot actually. Like I'm going the motions and putting on a happy face for the ones I love.
I like this a lot.

Thank you very much Chip. It's more of a self loathing/love hybrid. I usually fail miserably when it's all one or all the other.
