Hello, stranger I love your smile like you do my poetry but why look so troubled? I was just expressing my vile instead of staying in denial but you disagree You want a better version of me “We know people lie. They hurt and make us cry,” you say as we sit down for a while. “I know you’re angry. You almost scare me.” “Then what do you want?” I ask with an eyebrow raised. “Bring your joy next time around. I know you can. If you may, fake one,” is all his next statement. How do I tell him that I’m done pretending I’m always happy like they always want me to be? Dear stranger, you’re looking at a tired poser I know you mean well, but your request feels like a torture As usual, I always know what they want With a smile, I give him another same lie: “I’ll try.” R.
