I smiled & nodded,

I smiled & nodded,

to their assumptions, I folded,

lacking energy, explain the reasons,

and weights, of my decisions. 


A fool I was, so it is,

a path carved, choices picked, 

set the stage, I walked free,

or bound to the narratives. 


Days spent in performing, 

nights confronts realities, 

there are no lies or acting,

just the mirrors reflecting. 


And I wonder, painting colors,

does my mask, working proper,

not spilling the vulnerabilities, 

being concealed inside lockers. 


I smiled & nodded,

being nervous, to not venture,

into the corners, of self-depreciation,

being aware, of the deficiencies... 


From comparisons, or desperations?
