Funny faces, decomposed.
A sigh keeps me out,
But I hear a broken chord of Intimacy. 
My notes stuck to pages in my Throat. 

I drained my veins to breath here,
I worked my tools, silenced my Shivers to be heard.
I smile with my eyes,
Rosemary memories. 

You hate me for my name.
Want to pluck me down with your Hands, kick out foundations
But you still smile as you pass, 
I only see shadow. 

Sitting on a cold bench.
Surrounded by children parading as Adults with your playground politics.
I smile inwardly, knowingly, 
Happily alone in false company.

Spot on! Namely about exclusion, the sort that lurks under a seemingly smiling face. Thank you so much, I’m glad you like it!! ?

About lurking in the shadows of exclusion, if you are feeling like this, you should read my friend's poem: To the moon.

Being Me

This is a well written piece. The words have been used to excellent effect in conveying the loneliness one feels beneath the surface x
