Pretence

Is my smile too wide
Is my laugh too loud
Am I too happy?

If I smile and wave
And I call your name
Will I reveal myself?

If I smile and blush
And speak out loud
Will my feelings show?

Should I just be still
Or if I look your way
Will it be a stare?

Am I too happy?

  1. Questions of a real woman!! Men more often think and want women should behave the way we want…Even I’m with such meanness of heart..This poem is an eye-opener.. I’ll treat my lady with all respect and try to understand her hereafter..Thank you

  2. You can never be too happy! Just be yourself and not what society or other folk around you “expect” you should be…again, be true to yourself. This is a huge lesson in life. Before you can be true to yourself you have to know yourself…it can take a lifetime…?
