Chromatic Characteristics

I wear my emotions on my face, Cry at the snap of your hand, With seriousness, life I embrace, A tender touch, I demand, Kind and gentle with a smile always, That's what you will see outside, Inside, I churn and hide my malaise, You'll never know why I cried, With straightforward faith to lead me on, A poem to match my moods, Looking forward to heaven's new dawn, Brazenness, my pen exudes.

Kind and gentle with a smile always, That's what you will see outside, Inside, I churn and hide my malaise, You'll never know why I cried--awesome introspective write, Jo!

I can relate, so often my face masks what's going on inside, but we have our poetry to release our true feelings~
