When you smile I see hatred and scorn. <br />When you frown I see love and tranquility. <br />You heart is manipulated with fear. <br />You thoughts are not your own. <br />You've been trained to think the way you do. <br />Like a robot you've been programmed. <br />The decisions you make are not your own, <br />Precisely someone else’s. <br />You’re very intellectual but you don’t know what common sense is. <br />You've been around individuals whose minds are distorted. <br />Smiles and frowns interchangeably misrepresented. <br />So you've learned from the best, perfecting mistakes. <br />You've earned your respect through lewdness. <br />I smile at your zest to impress. <br />I stare at you without interest. <br />I frown in my heart because I know you not true to yourself. <br />But my heart’s rejoicing. <br />I can recall the time you were asking me about life. <br />I live every moment to explain it. <br />But you still afar off the answer <br />Because you’re way too smart to figure that out. <br />So I smiled again in frown watching the days pass on by. <br />I guess you've forgotten the pass by now, <br />Smiling through the future. <br />The future may catch you by surprise. <br />I might be the guy that make you frown again. <br />I await such an adventure of intense suspense <br />But until then ill suspend my intents.<br /><br />devon da poet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smiles-and-frowns/
