Your disguise

A Poem by Gracey_Moon

This is a rewrite of a poem I wrote in 2018, which I called "Pain Within". This revised version was written April of 2023 and meant for a guy I really liked. I always saw through his fake smiles...

There's a dark void in my eyes,
that let's me see through your disguise.
You always put on that fake smile,
with all of your pain in a single pile.
I can sense how much you hurt,
Even through all your attempts to flirt.
I understand your pain,
because I've been through some of the same.
I know this world is dark,
but sometimes you just need to find a helping heart. ♡

There's a dark void in my eyes,

I like this idea. To me, it says you have a filter that helps you see the truth in others. It's there because of your own experience with pain, anger, shame, etc. You're using it to give the subject some grace. It's the most humble and helpful thing we can do for our brothers and sisters. You look sympathetically on the actions (fake smile, flirting) and offer to see past them. Give space for the healing. I like it!
