It’s Expected
My sadness overwhelms me
My tears blind me
My loneliness fills my soul
And my fear to reach out
Will not allow me any joy
Most of all
Because it’s expected of me
I smile

A strong and telling verse -- excellently presented.

yes... because it's expected of us from others. It's probably why we do most things. Excellent writing.....Jerry (*_*)

smart write... the ambivalence within... the dichotomy between what we feel and what we sense is expected of us...

It's so incredibly hard to always be the jester my friend but that's what people come to expect. We play our part, conflicted between truth and illusion. How the hell did we end up with this job. Brilliant poem that I'm highly recommending.

So true... and sometimes when we smile, we feel just a little bit better.
