I lie in my dark bed.
Rum, warmth, taste of oak.
I’m tipsy,
Pink Floyd
I sing aloud.
I scratch myself.
I feel the pain.
I am alive.
No one cares.
I send him a message,
No reply.


I get out of bed.
Put on a mask.
Plastic smile.
No one notices anything out of the ordinary.

The plastic smile
A little baby that wriggles and plays
All day long
And then when night falls
Tired,he goes to sleep
And thoughts that never were
Do seem to seep
Hidden creeks...
A Deluge.

Damn I wish I could.
Or was this picked off a song?

I love the way you've used the picture, I'm glad you used it at all.

Are you okay? I love what you've written. But are you okay?

I don't know about the others, but Maurice is, well, brilliant.

Get over him Ate. He isn't that good for you. Yeah I'm okay. Relatively.

@ Ate - don't call him Maurice. I think he's only given me permission to call him that. You should ask him that.
@ Saptarshi - I like the poem. A little vague maybe, but good.

well i believe in something ou know and i've seen that this actually works........a smile, even when faked make both the person who's smiling and the person being smiled at a litlle happier..........

Smile, when your heart is aching
Smile even thought it's breaking
Although a tear maybe ever so near
Smile.....

I'm sorry, I shall remember that in future.

@ Subhayu - I like that Michael Jackson song. However I used the term 'plastic smile' here not only to symbolise a fake smile, but a lot more. Like a fake me..
@ Ate - Just ask maurice. It isn't much of my business anyway.

Lúthien Táralóm said...

@ Maurice - I don't care much for what you think of this one either. I like it. Especially with the picture.

Subhayu said...

Lúthien Táralóm said...
