Character Suicide Poem by Floyd Crenshaw

Character Suicide

Rating: 4.5


this mask
i put on
for you
and
that one
you put on
for me
is happy-go-lucky,
nothing is wrong.

well,
it's all
been wrong
and
i'm sorry
to have deceived you...

how's this look...?

A bittersweet penning with a kick in the final line - we can paint on that smile, pretend everything is alright but when the mask comes off and true feelings are revealed the emotional undressing can reveals quite a different side. Great title here too Floyd. (I penned something along the lines of this mask theme in a poem called Automaton) . j

I like the honesty, and the finish.
