Smile For the Camera

~finally

wholesomeness destroyed

sweet is bitter

two plus two equals...

seventeen

rendering script

reread the ink lines 

a broken field

survivors slain by men

smile or die

insecurity

my own fault

lies are the only form of sustenance available


but still leaves me empty

laugh misery away

hope you had fun

truth deletion in progress...

smile

smile

smiles identical...

sorrows ever so diverse...
