teeth.

you ask me why my face is solemn.
smile. you ironically insist.
i flash teeth to satisfy you.
to satisfy them all.

do you prefer this?
falseness.
is it easier.
for your eyes and mind.

pretend.portray.perform.
the trinity you worship.
the one you want me to live by.
sometimes i consider myself a convert.

then the smile starts to hurt .
teeth begin to shatter. under
such pressure.
my cheeks and jaw sore with falsity.

i will not put on a fraudulent face.
not for you. not for them.
i will not bow before your chapel of ephemeral bliss.
