Smile (old poetry)

So, I want to get some poetry from an old blog transfered to this blog. So, some of the poetry listed as old poetry is from a blog from 1-2 years ago.

Smile

An illusory smile straining muscles reveal not so white
- pearly whites –
cohabiting with a tongue
thrashing truth and lies.
Swallowing sobs down
the welling meets in my eyes-
gravity proves only circumstantial once more.
Nails fiddle with chapped lips then run to
catch the tear they nearly missed.
Distorted black liquefies an insoluble cheek, the falsity painted on my skin
melts
and drowns
my mother's gift of freckles.
