Smile Now Cry Later
All along the concrete jungle a silence is heard, throughout the streets above & below.
A child is weeping ever so low. If you listen closely, hear the tears hitting the cold floor,
the slamming of doors, wanting of more. Listen closely, dont be distracted, for if you
are you will miss that the child is acting and actually laughing. Laughing at you and
laughing at me. Chuckles of hate, snickers of pain, LOL ROTFL LMFAO! Laughing at
you and laughing at me. Look at the sound, do you see what I see. See that this life
of pain, that he is living in. he is hurting inside but hopeful and praying that the other
side, might hold a better life. A life that is totally unlike this, His smile is make believe,
like a clown wearing his frown upside down. For you see its a fantasy to be happy
when you are his expression. He wants to express get the all of it off his chest. But he
knows whats best, lock it away, there it will stay. Til he reaches the other side and
unlocks it to play. Tossing out used needles day after day. Lol is al I can say. This side
is like that side,, outside the box is a mirror image of inside with nowhere to hide. His
little world seems redundant and lame. Playing a game. Cat & mouse where he is the
cat and we are the mice. We play the game for all of our lives. His smile is pain and the
source of his hate, comes deep rooted in pain, no pain no gain, or so they say. Ooops
up side his head! Do the cross, say good nite to mommy and off to bed. Only to awake
to the same thing on different day. He is smiling now but will be crying later, cheesin
right now til the pain sets in later, He is laughing right now so that he can scream it out
later!!!
