Despite it all
Despite my laugh
My rambunctious roar
Of mirth and happy gurgles
Despite my dancing in
Purple haze of joy
The deeper me
Is just grey
Despite the gaiety of it all
The dancing at the ball
The flirtatious gait
The party fox
Despite it all
I am just
Grace
So judge me not for this
My ever happy laughter
Think me not a clown
Hoping for the applause
from a crowd of revellers
I too have many thoughts
Of me, you and all of them
Despite it all
My rambunctious roar
Of mirth and happy gurgles
Despite my dancing in
Purple haze of joy
The deeper me
Is just grey
Despite the gaiety of it all
The dancing at the ball
The flirtatious gait
The party fox
Despite it all
I am just
Grace
So judge me not for this
My ever happy laughter
Think me not a clown
Hoping for the applause
from a crowd of revellers
I too have many thoughts
Of me, you and all of them
Despite it all

Very relatable Grace, the outside very rarely portrays the inside.
Great expression and pen.

Every now and then we wear a disguise and few ever get to see the real person behind the mask. I can relate to this Grace,it is beautifully expressed. Nice one

Love this one Grace and relate well. So often we are judged entirely wrong and always based on superficial and temporary things..we show lot's of strength when we don a smile although we feel like crying and too bad for those who think it's the entire show! great work here :-)

That is so true dear Miki, always others judge us our outlook and seldom to they see us for what we are. Thanks for reading me.
