What I really mean

A Poem by Alexander143

The message behind some common ambiguous expressions.

What I really mean.

Here's what I mean
When I wrap my 'Hi' in a grin;
Not that I like you or something,
But simply that I want to create a warm atmosphere for conversing.

This is what I mean by smiling at someone who's strange.
Well, according to the magnitude of beauty, and obviously sex, the meaning can change.
Let's say, a girl, very beautiful;
I mean to say, 'I'm not displeased by what I see and I wouldn't mind seeing more of a creation of God's, so wonderful.
But on the other hand, if the girl's an ugly one,
The words in the smile are, 'Don't be deceived, the smile comes with the cute face, they are one.
Now don't judge me,
Ugliness to me, is taken differently.
Ugliness, just like beauty, can't be seen from someone's face,
But their unwholesome attitude, unpleasant disposition, that psyche mess.

Here's what I mean when I say, 'you look nice.'
I mean 'you look nice' there's on need to think twice.
This is what I mean when I act like a gentleman;
That I'm being myself, and not pretending to be anyone.
I don't mean to say, 'I like you'
Otherwise, I'd say it right up if it were true.

When I say you're beautiful, it's a complement.
I'm not sending a cryptic code or a thing of such an arrangement.

Now get me straight when I say I like you.
I mean 'you're a nice person outside and I'd like to know if your inside is nice too.'
Here's what I mean when I call you my friend,
That you're someone I value and treasure, my source of warmth after summer's end.

This is what I mean when I say, 'I love Natasha',
That she's the girl I care about with no equivocations, and that you've gotta try hard to compete with her.

And when I say, 'Keep Smiling',
I mean, 'Open your eyes to the sweeter side of bitter, the angelic side of evil, the good side of bad; be an optimist, cuz it's worth doing.

Keep Smiling
