Image for the poem leer

leer

 
within the scorn there is love
sideways smiles lie
a leer is sometimes a genuine look inside
in the glaring truth we hide
our honesty shines

it isn't always easy to love a person
or to show that love
alone isn't always lonely
while being around people isn't always oneness

I seek to connect
then pull back when I find a dark facet
a reflection of my own darkness I think
none of us is good all the time
not to mention what is good

and by whose standards?
