Internal Bliss

Layers of skin wither, exposing both beauty and flaw.

Light and dark collide, leaving heart opened and raw.

Laugh and be laughed with; cry and be dismissed.

Acceptance is rare; create internal bliss.

Souls flee when united; life becomes a joke.

Fires blaze deep within; we are blinded by the smoke.

A breath and a smile are all you need amongst judging eyes.

Another world exists beneath for few to recognize.

Cling to love, for it is not always loyal; first it must be true.

Have secretive reasons for smiling that the world wish it knew.
