Disapproval

Folder: 
Dusk

The fire of the frustration drowns out the hope,

My aspirations a pitless gutter at the mercy of reality,

That awkward feeling of wanting to be nice

But unable to fake a smile overcomes me,

My lips twitching with indecision.

Silence or talk?

Either way, I won’t get approval.

It’s that mission impossible in that relationship of fairytales,

Nothing is perfect,

I guess it’s true.

I strive to be and to have that approval,

To make all the rough corners smooth

For easy sailing,

But that black decay in the very corner of my heart,

Veiled in spider webs,

Is that two pair of scornful eyes.

Do you know that feeling when someone you love's loved one doesn't like you?
