What stands behind it all?

What stands behind it all?

Laughter is only a tinkling reminder

of a joy planted in core.

Like how everything else in life

means something more.

*

A tear is a betrayal

of inner emotions, expressed.

A lack of obedience is usually

a result of a life, messed.

*

An urge for stronger muscle

is really a desire for control.

A word hurting others

indicates a hollow hole.

*

A smile twisted through

comes after trickery for years.

A silence of the personality

means mock between the peers.

*

It's not logically possible

to find the guts to point fingers.

Life is sometimes one long answer

to a bloody scar that lingers.
