At Odds

AT ODDS

Looking Up,

Optimistic, perhaps simplistic.

Ever twisted

complicated,

Present time,

far back dated.

Loosely woven,

tightly knit.

Standing ready,

slumped in a pit.

Copious tears

wiley smiles.

Forbidden hellos

loosely mumbled goodbyes.

Toughened top lip,

downward gaze,

a bruised ego

a slight graze.

Openly secretive

quietly smug

nobodys friend
