Deeper Than The Obvious

I was cleaning up Hamster the Thirs (my laptop), and I came across this poem that I wrote a couple of months ago. The title is tentative. I am open to any suggestions.

Deeper Than the Obvious

A smile: from the heart
The face: bright
The voice: lively
The rhythm: pacing

Events, memories, the present sets in

A smile: continues
The brightness: escaped
The liveliness: dead
The rhythm: lost

Do we keep it in?
Do we let it out?
We Fear
Ridicule, Opinions, Lack of understanding
So we smile
Ignoring events, memories, the present

We smile deceit.

- Tassy Ali
